About this artwork
''Nestinar Dance'' is an abstract oil painting on canvas stretched over a wooden subframe.
I was inspired by the Thracians, who lived on our lands from the 2nd century BC to the 6th century AD. It is about an ancient Thracian custom and ritual that takes place in the month of May, when the Thracians believed that the sun was reborn. Then the firemen danced with their bare feet on the embers. In Strandzha mountain, to this day, on May 21, the day… of St. Constantine and Helena, the firemen dance on burning coals. Trust me, it's magical!

« My paintings are everything I can't say in words. On the canvas I express my feeling for the world, my love for nature. »
Ivan Gotsev is a Bulgarian artist who has exhibited widely. It was a love of people and nature that inspired him to become an artist and create personal abstract paintings. Although mainly using oil on canvas, Gotsev does not limit the scope of his creativity and sometimes includes textiles and other materials in his works. He describes his artistic process as a constant attempt to strike a balance between a spontaneous and rational approach.
