Intervju sa
GEORGI PETEV arhitekt, slikar, fotograf
Georgi Petev was born in Sofia in 1987. He became interested in photography and architecture in his late high school years. Because of the university exams he signed for a drawing course in Sofia, not knowing that it’s going to turn his whole worldview upside down. He studied architecture from 2008 to 2016, while also working as a student assistant at the Technical University in Graz. In 2013 he gets watercolor pencils as a present from his close friends and that happened to be that little push that all we need sometimes. These particular pencils turned to be just the reason, but not the right medium for him. The last sip of the evening coffee/wine combined with chinese ink turned for him to be a great way to illustrate topics such as architecture, entomology and mechanics (steampunk). Living and studying away from home helped him realize that he wasn’t ment to spent his life quietly settled, but in a costant movement. How exactly to do that is a question to be answered in the near future. Georgi Petev je rođen u Sofiji 1987. godine. Počinje se zanimati za fotografiju i arhitekturu u posljednjim godinama srednje škole. Zbog fakultetskih ispita upisuje kurs crtanja u Sofiji, ne sluteći da će to potpuno promijeniti njegov život. Studirao je arhitekturu od 2008 do 2016 pritom radeći i kao asistent na Tehničkom univerzitetu u Grazu. 2013. godine dobija akvarel bojice od bliskog prijatelja i to djeluje kao poticaj koji nam je svima ponekad potreban. Ispostavlja se da su ove bojice odličan povod za dalji rad, ali ne i najbolji izbor tehnike. Posljednji gutljaj kafe/vina u kombinaciji sa kineskom tintom postaju njegov način za ilustraciju motiva koje pronalazi u arhitekturi, entomologiji i mehanici (naročito steampunku). Život i studij daleko od doma pomažu mu da shvati da za njega nije miran život na jednom mjestu, već u konstantnom pokretu. Kako tačno da postigne to, jeste pitanje na koje će odgovor potražiti u budućnosti.
