Emilia Gladnishka

Emilia Gladnishka was born in Sofia. In 2001, she graduated from the National Academy of Music in Sofia, with a bachelor's degree in viola. In 2009, she graduated as a master's degree in viola from the University of Music and Performing Arts, Graz, Austria. She works as a solo violist at the National Theater in Maribor, Slovenia and is a member of the orchestra at the Opera in Graz, Austria.

In 2023, Gladnishka received a master's degree in interior design from the New Bulgarian University, Sofia. In recent years, Emilia has devoted herself entirely to her development as an artist and designer. Since 2008, she has begun presenting her works in a number of solo and joint exhibitions in Bulgaria and Austria.

Her path to art does not go through academic education, but through years of personal search, observation and constant experimentation. Drawing for her is a natural way to express feelings, states and impressions that are difficult to present in words alone. She works in the fields of painting, ceramics, and interior design. In her works, she seeks a balance between the recognizable and the abstract, between the real image and its emotional reflection.
