Milko Pavlov

​

​

Milko Pavlov is born 1956 in Aytos, Bulgaria; lives and works in Berlin

                                                                                    

After short hesitation he decides not to apply in the Bulgarian Academy of arts. Up until 1989 he works with painting and graphics, in the benign go the 90s he starts using paper material and coordinates the Bulgarian-Swiss sector of ARTEST.

​

His first exhibition of large-scale frottage works with graphing on paper is The Limits of Paradise in XXL Gallery in Sofia – 1998. In 2005, he starts to fixate fragments from “a past unfinished” - a process, which is central to his works until this day.
