The director of the State Cultural Institute under the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bulgaria, Snezhana Ioveva, presented the exhibition.

The exhibition shows 22 paintings by well-established Bulgarian artists from the post-war period, who managed to preserve the achievements in the field of fine art from the previous generations of artists, adding their artistic pursuits. This exhibition is a continuation of the original exhibition "Diplomacy and Art", dedicated to 140 years since the establishment of the Bulgarian Diplomatic Service, presented in a number of national and regional museums and galleries.

At the same time, by following the development of artistic expression over the years, we will also discover the new trends of the 70s and 80s in the art of the next generations. They are related to the simplification of the artistic image, the construction of a national style with original plastic interpretations, new materiality, the emergence of associative painting, monochrome imagery, etc. Nayden Petkov, Andrey Lekarski, Georgi Bozhilov, Yordan Katsamunski, Svetlin Rusev are represented here, followed by Georgi Baev, Svilen Blazhev, Stoyan Tsanev, Veliko Marinchevski, Ivan Milev and Alcek Mishev.
