In 1995 I created series of stereo art graphics under the motto "See The Future Now".
One of them was dedicated to Sofia as I imagined it after 100 years.
As iconic symbol of the future progress and economic prosperity of Bulgaria in the 21st century,
I also included the Twin-Towers of the World Trade Center in New York,
standing out behind the facades of National Theatre - Sofia, Bulgaria and Bulgarian Pavilion
at the World Expo in Osaka, Japan in 1970.
Unfortunately, during the first year of the new millennium, on the crisp morning of
September 11, 2001 the optimistic prospects for the future were clouded by the cruel reality.

Like the Phoenix, the Twin Towers will rise again from the ashes.

All my life I’ve been using paints and brushes to embody my ideas in posters, graphic and exhibition design.
I wouldn’t say everything I’ve done in all these years is senseless, but now looking back I can count on my five fingers the things I would do again.

One of the things I will never regret for and probably the most significant one is that in 1982 I discovered for myself Computer Graphics. Since that moment I’ve been completely devoted to the computer as a means and a creative partner for the generation of images and animation.

My paints and brushes are dry now but I found myself in the Computer Graphics. Actually all my life I’ve been intuitively close to Computer Graphics. My posters and graphic works created before 1982 look as if they were designed by computer means.

With all my due respect towards professional supercomputers and graphic workstations I still think that world wouldn’t be the same without the invention of Personal Computer - democratized the creative process, making it more familiar and accessible to everybody.

It’s hard to imagine what will be beyond computers, as no one was able to predict the appearance of Personal Computer and Internet. With the help of the latest technology I am trying to look into the near future. As any prediction for the future, and even worst, prediction for the 21st Century and 3rd Millennium I am crystal aware that this is naive. It sounds like words pronounced by Charles H. Duell, Commissioner, U.S. Office of Patents, 1899 ( Sorry Charles! ) “Everything that can be invented has been invented.”

What else can I say?
