I am interested in visual mnemonics and the way we remember, imagine and dream. Throughout our shared experience of mundane, repetitive tasks, the things that stick and stay with us are the out of the ordinary events. We seem to be evolutionary hardwired to remember the gruesome, the bizarre, the surreal, the sexual & the humorous. Based on these my fascination and interest lies in the visual portrayal of characters, spaces and atmospheres soaked in idiosyncratic, whimsical and ethereal motifs. Recently I’ve been also interested in the importance of humour. The playful, childlike curiosity and approach to life is probably the only thing I wish to take seriously. – Yovcho Gorchev
