Young artist Iva Markova will present her debut exhibition, "All Golden Hours", at the Largo Art Gallery.It includes a series of works, created especially for the space, the gallery said. The opening will be on October 5.

Markova has chosen the still life with flowers for the exhibition. "Her imagery is done with bold brushes and paint layering which gives the sensation of vibration and movement of plants," said gallerist Nelly Valcheva. She thinks that the artist puts in a philosophical aspect in her work, which can be felt in the titles of her works: The Beginning, Circle, Written Dreams. The Truths.

"There is a very peculiar light within the objects when they are looked in life and every day it is different. She presents the idea that this a small part of the secret garden under whose dappled shadow we play as children, when every day is different."

The author is born on March 26 1996 in Burgas. She studied painting at the National Academy of Art in Sofia.

This is the second event under the New Horizons project, which assists artists under the age of 35 at the beginning of their artistic career through funding from the National Culture Fund.
