With this Project, I would like to express my great feelings of gratitude to one special person in my life
Associate Prof. Atanas Dafinov (1955-2020)
"You teach me how to see the invisible in the silence, about the beauty of the creative process, about meaning inside explorations. You opened our souls to start experience the existential of Fine Arts in us, and surround us.
Such a great honor I had in my life to meet you and to be your student in High School and in the University.
With your knowledge peacefully shared and given to us for the life of Arts, Music, Literature, Films, Culture & Heritage ... you opened many, many hearts, minds, and you turn my meaning of life, to understand the world better. To be a better Human being ...
With deep bow and heart fulfilled with love and respect, I THANK YOU! "

What is Drypoint, as traditional printmaking technique:
"The technique appears to have been invented by the Housebook Master, a south German 15th-century artist, all of whose prints are in drypoint only. Among the most famous artists of the old master print Albrecht Dürer produced 3 drypoints before abandoning the technique; Rembrandt used it frequently, but usually in conjunction with etching and engraving. As intaglio techniques, they can all be used on the same plate. Alex Katz used this process to create several of his famous works, such as "Sunny" and "The Swimmer".
In the 20th century many artists produced drypoints, including Max Beckmann, Milton Avery, and Hermann-Paul. By adding aquatint work on the plate and inking with various colors, artists such as Mary Cassatt have produced color drypoints. Canadian artist David Brown Milne is credited as the first to produce colored drypoints by the use of multiple plates, one for each color."
