AUTOBIOGRAPHY
II would like to write the autobiography that I like, not the one that you expect from me.
One day when I was 8 years old, I decided that I wanted to be different, unique, free and unique with my vision - like a street theater. I started experimenting. I learned to knit and sew - the emotion of inventing new unseen visions - like a painting, but with spirit and body. My strange outfit always gave me the feeling of an alien madman, but it wasn't enough. When I was 14, I started drawing lessons at my discretion, and my mother supported me in my decision. Even then, I knew that the path would not be easy - the path of the artist. Thorny road, penniless, but from the heart. I chose it this time and I don't regret it. I drew, drew, drew, I didn't care about others, I just poured my soul on the white sheet. And I became different - the girl with the drawing folder. As a teenager, I got involved with "bad people" - drug addicts - I felt their pain so strongly that I only wanted to paint demons. I didn't try their drugs, but it was as if they implanted themselves in me - somewhere deep - sadness and pain. I lived in a time between "Bukowski", "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and "Studio 54" - Arrogance, Party, Art. After drawing around the clock, I applied twice to the School of Applied Arts, but they did not accept me. Then I was accepted into a technical school for clothing and design - a complete disappointment - for the talent I had, and I became a professional still life artist. Here life offers surprises - I was taught to sew Professionally - but I knew how to sew, what's the point of knowing this nonsense with professionalism. I resisted the teachers until the end, I didn't go to school and I didn't understand when the time came to graduate from the most unpleasant technical school, where I actually learned a lot about the clothing making and fashion design. Of course, for me, the goal was the National Academy of Arts, where 6 people entered out of 200 applicants. Well, while I was studying to be a designer (I was a designer at the age of 14, what do you understand), I went to drawing courses for the Academy. Well, I entered the academy 5th state order with a scholarship. And then the "movie" started. What was this storm in my life - I don't know - revues, performances and many parties and everyday painting at the Academy. Lots of art - crazy fashion, painting, theaters, photos, everything related to art, and lots of gays. There was a legendary club in Sofia - Spartacus. There were my great years of performance - I. Friends - artists, artists, musicians ,choreographers, models
and extraordinary freaks. Everything became oversaturated - reviews, meetings with people, photo shoots, performances, designing and making costumes, theaters, music, videos and studying at the academy - became too much. Well, at the age of 20 there is time for everything - I managed to cope. With wonderful teams of artists, constantly making revues and performances, one of which became scandalous: "Sirit & Body" - I told an exciting theatrical tale about the soul, through unseen 60 costumes and images of strange characters from an unknown film, interesting lighting, direction and choreography , but everyone remembered the naked models who dressed up on stage. The awards for fashion were raining, they stopped me on the street to congratulate me, they gave me on all the televisions (then there were 3 main televisions hahaha). I graduated with honors from NHA and somehow my inspiration and muse for painting stopped. The combination of fashion and fine art came together in a brilliant balance.
And so, after traveling to different countries,I taught fashion in college, I realized my childhood dreams of having a horse and riding a motorcycle, with an almost 20-year break from painting, I returned again.
Nothing matters - Only art - that pure that comes out of me like a brilliant drop and pours onto the canvas.
How to write you a resume with my exhibitions?! Well, they are thousands, everyday, every second. I am an artist who experiments in all areas of art - Fashion, Cinema, Theater, Music, Choreography, Dance, Fine art, I cannot limit myself to one art, that's why I am Mira Bachvarova.

PHILOSOPHY:
Art is the way to attain perfection.
There is no school that can teach on fantasy, but there are people that can make you fantasize.
Nothing matters - Only art - that pure that comes out of me like a brilliant drop and pours onto the canvas.
