"The Woman as a Beginning" is the title of a new exhibition by Georgi Ashikov-Asho, which will be showcased at the Serdica Gallery in Sofia. The exhibition opens on July 1 and will run until July 19, the organizers announced.

“Since the dawn of human civilization, the woman has symbolized life, inspiration, and transformation. She is not merely a biological mother—she is a bearer of culture, of morals, of memory, and of progress. Behind every great historical event, discovery, or renaissance, there is often a strong woman—with vision, courage, and spirit. A woman not only gives life, but gives it meaning - ushering in not just a new generation, but new ideas, aspirations, and forms of art,” the gallery stated.

According to the organizers, this concept is clearly expressed in Georgi Ashikov’s work -the woman as a source of inspiration. “The woman as the spark that shifts the flow of time and transforms the worldview of man. In his compositions—drawn from everyday life and simple daily scenes—the woman is not just present; she transforms. Her appearance, even in shadow or a casual gesture, elevates the mundane, turning it into something deeper, more beautiful, and oriented toward inner growth,” they noted.

“In the world of Georgi Ashikov, the woman is the beginning of everything,” the organizers emphasized.

Georgi Ashikov-Asho was born on June 23, 1978, in Sandanski, Bulgaria. He graduated from the South-West University “Neofit Rilski” with a degree in sculpture under Professor Dimitar Sotirov. Since 2018, he has been a member of the Union of Bulgarian Artists. He has participated in numerous group exhibitions as well as regional and international art residencies and plein air events.
