Biography
Rossen was born in Sofia, Bulgaria. He studied at the Fine Art School in Sofia and on BA Painting course at Central St. Martin’s School of Art. Drawing is the generator of all his projects and guides his need to sense and gradually re-mystify the form, as a key to an unfolding emotional field. Amidst individual dilemmas and collision of events, his work aims to reveal societal tensions as the pulsating screens of shared conscience. Observing the urgency of the visual rhythm, his desire is determined to embrace the depth of pictorial space and stirred by reality to emerge as lived realisation.
On drawing
Life around us is predominantly visual and drawing is uniquely rooted in its cycle, as a deeply personal journey of perpetual discovery. The intuition to draw a mark inspires our perception to channel this restless impulse and with increased curiosity to reclaim on the flat surface the observed and the imaginary. Revealing the reality with our own means broadens the artistic mind with a fuller feeling and a sensitivity, that is eager to expand the process of intense looking into an emotion of lasting, expressive complexity. The struggle of getting closer to the essence of the form frees the creative instinct to brave the risk of failing and to continue to unlock this vital connection to the world.
Drawing is speaking only to the eye that is releasing it and silencing any rational logic reaches the innermost being with life affirming, intimate truth.
