PANCHO MALEZANOV


Pancho Malezanov: “I was born in 1964. I started painting seriously at age 15. That was the time when I was accepted into the School for Applied Arts in my home town Sofia. I couldn’t imagine working anything else. For me, painting was always my “call”. In my teenage years I was strongly influenced by Bulgarian artist – Greddy Assa. Hundertwasser’s works also inspired me a lot. My first paintings were mostly abstract landscapes. I painted with oil and pastel. This “period” continued about 5 years. For me, nature is large part of my inner peace; therefore painting nature brought out my “self”.


I would dare to call my landscapes “flying landscapes”. Hence, I see most images in my head from “above”, or from a “bird’s” point of view. This approach characterizes the majority of my landscape works. I do my best in my work when I feel the presence of love. For me, the presence and the inspiration of the loved one plays important role. Later, my work “evolved” with painting still nature, birds, animals, and some particular “machineries”: laptops, airplanes, boats, and submarines. I had a special vision on how to include those objects in my paintings. Music, and most particularly jazz, play very important role in my life and in my work. Jazz gives me a lot, so I feel obligated to “give back” to jazz through my paintings. I also work on graphic design. My logos can be seen on major ads. I designed the logo for the largest sports newspaper in Bulgaria.” The prominent art critic Maximilian Kirov wrote about the artist: "As an artist Pancho Malezanov always prefers to interact with nature directly, but it is difficult to call him a landscape artist in the exact meaning of the term. He is not interested in particular details, but prefers to unite the entire scenery through a randomly situated point of view, which does not take into account the horizon line or the static position from which each natural object is seen. This point of view almost always has a peculiar “bird’s plan view”, which allows him to contemplate a panoramic scene. This is a “bird’s eye vision” where the retina captures separate aspects of reality during the very flight. Consequently, it is difficult to imagine the author’s micro cosmos via traditional concepts as up, down, left or right. In Bulgarian painting only the Great Kazakov has ever dared to depict nature in this way. Nevertheless, Malezanov is not his imitator but a true continuer of this graphic principle."
