   004 - Vasil Stoilov

   🎧 The fourth episode is here! In this episode, we explore the life and work of the artist and educator Prof. Vasil Stoilov. The variety of preserved documents, notes, school notebooks, and other archival materials created by the artist helped us to tell his story, relying on his voice and supported by the stories of his relatives. Each page in Vasil's archive not only confirms known facts and events about him but, in a manner unique to manuscripts, they add to his story depth and nuance — revealing the subtle hues of time and intricate details often overlooked in complex texts written by academics and critics. Happy listening! 💜 👀 For visuals while listening: https://www.contours.bg/en/episodes/004 💭 Whatever you take away from the story, we'd love to hear it.

   003 - Zlatyu Boyadzhiev

   The third episode is here! 🧑🎨 Zlatyu Boyadzhiev's story is marked by several painful events, but one specific incident serves as a defining moment in his life and artistic journey. Although they share a common theme, the two phases in Zlatyu's creative work radically differ in his drawing style. Since childhood, he has been drawn to the fields, the massive and smooth curves of the Rhodope Mountains, people, and animals. Many childhood memories will later find a place in his paintings. 🎧 Listen to the episode on your preferred podcast platform or our website: https://www.contours.bg/en/episodes/003 (https://www.contours.bg/en/episodes/003) 💭 Whatever you take away from the story, we'd love to hear it.

   002 - Цанко Лавренов

   На 24 ноември 1896 г. в Пловдив се ражда едно от най-значимите лица на българското изобразително изкуство - Цанко Лавренов. Александър-Стефан Иванов Лавренов или Цанко, както му казват на галено, е героят във втория епизод на поредицата. Тръгваме по калдаръмените улици на Стария град - тази пъстра мозайка, контурираща лицето на любимия град под тепетата. Град на художници. Град на Цанко Лавренов. 💛 🖼️ Тънка нишка между мозайките, архитектурата и картините на Пловдив ще ни накара да видим изкуството на Лавренов като пресечна точка между археология, история и писане. И ако трябва да определим този епизод с една дума, то тя е… пластове. ⛰️ Пловдив е многопластов във всяко отношение. Творчеството на Цанко Лавренов - също. За да разберем и Пловдив, и Цанко, е нужно да ги погледнем вертикално. Сякаш правим археологически разкопки. Дълбаем, изследваме, кривим в разни посоки, а историите сякаш нямат край! Именно в такива своеобразни разкопки се впускаме във втория епизод на Контури. . . . Независмо дали си тръгнал в тази посока или вече се занимаваш с творчество, в историята на Цанко винаги ще откриеш нещо окуражаващо. Каквото и да си вземеш от разказа ще се радваме да го чуем. Сподели го с нас във Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/contours.podcast) или ⁠Instagram⁠ (https://www.instagram.com/contours.podcast/) на @contours.podcast или ни пиши нa hello@contours.bg (mailto:hello@contours.bg).

   002 - Tsanko Lavrenov

   On November 24, 1896, in Plovdiv, one of the most significant figures in Bulgarian visual arts was born - Tsanko Lavrenov. Alexander-Stefan Ivanov Lavrenov, or Tsanko as he is fondly called, is the protagonist in the second episode of the series. We stroll through the cobblestone streets of the Old Town - this vibrant mosaic outlining the face of the beloved city under the hills. A city of artists. A city of Tsanko Lavrenov. 💛 🖼️ A delicate thread between the mosaics, architecture, and paintings of Plovdiv will make us see Lavrenov's art as a crossroads between archaeology, history, and writing. And if we have to define this episode with one word, it is... layers. ⛰️ Plovdiv is multilayered in every aspect. Tsanko Lavrenov's art is too. To understand both Plovdiv and Tsanko, we need to look at them vertically. It's like doing archaeological excavations. We dig, explore, swirl in different directions, and the stories seem endless! It is in such unique excavations that we delve into the second episode of Contours. . . . Whether you've taken this direction or are already engaged in creativity, in Tsanko's story, you'll always find something encouraging. Whatever you take from the episode, we'd love to hear it. Share it with us on ⁠Facebook⁠ or ⁠Instagram⁠⁠ at @contours.podcast or write to us at ⁠hello@contours.bg⁠. Thank you and enjoy listening! 🙋♀️ Link to the article about Plovdiv Fair (source BNR, 2022): ⁠https://shorturl.at/jzDQT⁠ 👀 Visual material for the episode can be found here: https://www.contours.bg/en/episodes/002 🙏 You can also support us through the donation platform ⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠ (https://www.patreon.com/contours). . . . 🙏 Special thanks to Lavren Petrov and the team at ⁠"Tsanko Lavrenov" Foundation⁠ for their help and all the fascinating visual materials they provided us with. 📙 The mentioned monograph on Tsanko Lavrenov is available in Bulgarian and English, and you can purchase or order editions from ⁠"Contrast" Gallery⁠ in Sofia or contact the ⁠"Tsanko Lavrenov" Foundation⁠ team at 📲 +359 888 52 60 22 or 📧 ⁠tsankolavrenov@gmail.com⁠. 🙏 Special thanks to Laurel Zmolek-Smith, whose beautiful voice is guiding you through the captivating story of Tsanko Lavrenov, and ⁠Maria Kokalanova⁠ (https://www.facebook.com/iamvastanorak) whose vocal performance adds truly Bulgarian vibes to this story.

   001 - Владимир Димитров-Майстора

   Роден посред зимата на 1882 г., само 4 години след създаването на Третата българска държава, Владимир пораства и се формира като творец при особено турболентен за българската история период. Днес разказът за един от най-популярните ни худжници е всъщност история за едно тихо и скромно на вид момче, родено в семейство на бежанци. Същото това момче, обаче, расте във времена на войни, въстания и смяна на политически режими. По случайност се запалва по рисуване и решава, че живописта е неговото нещо в живота. Този прочит прави историята за Майстора много по-близка до всеки от нас. История, в която можем да намерим искра, която да запали нова идея за проект или да освети пътя, когато се загубим в творческия процес. 💭 Каквото и да си вземеш от разказа ще се радваме да го чуем. Сподели го с нас в Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/contours.podcast/) или Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/contours.podcast/) или ни пиши на 📧 hello@contours.bg. Приятно слушане! 👀 Визуален материал към епизода ще намериш тук: https://www.contours.bg/bg/episodes/001 🙏 Може да ни подкрепиш и през платформата за дарения Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/contours). . . .

   001 - Vladimir Dimitrov - Maistora [the Master]

   Born in the middle of the winter of 1882, only 4 years after the establishment of the Third Bulgarian State, Vladimir grew up and was formed as an artist during a particularly turbulent period in Bulgarian history. Today, the story of one of Bulgaria's most popular artists is actually a story of a quiet and modest-looking boy born in a refugee family. This same boy, however, grew up in times of wars, uprisings, and changes in political regimes. By chance, he became interested in painting and decided that painting was his thing in life. This perspective makes the story of the Master much more relatable to each of us. A story where we can find a spark to ignite a new project idea or illuminate the path when we get lost in the creative process. 💭 Whatever you take away from the story, we'd love to hear it. Share it with us on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/contours.podcast/) or ⁠Facebook⁠⁠ (https://www.facebook.com/contours.podcast/) or drop us a line at 📧 hello@contours.bg. Happy listening! 👀 Visual material for the episode can be found here: https://www.contours.bg/en/episodes/001 🙏 You can also support us through the donation platform ⁠Patreon⁠ (https://www.patreon.com/contours). . . . Special thanks to Laurel Zmolek-Smith, whose beautiful voice is guiding you through the captivating story of the Master, and Maria Kokalanova (https://www.facebook.com/iamvastanorak) whose vocal performance adds truly Bulgarian vibes to this story.

Season one of the audio series is made possible thanks to our partners at Alike⁠ (https://alike.studio/) and ⁠ProCasters⁠ (https://www.facebook.com/p/ProCasters-100058107855120/) and with the financial support of the National Culture Fund (https://ncf.bg/bg)under the "Debuts" program. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/contours/message

   Всяка творба, оставила следа у теб, има история с много герои в нея.
