Biography

Tsvetan Radenkov is a Bulgarian visual artist who works primarily in painting. Through colour, gesture, and material, he explores human emotion, personal experience, and the uncertain boundaries between perception, reality, and imagination. Born in Plovdiv, he has lived in Vienna since 2000 and has worked as a freelance artist since 2007, presenting his work in international exhibitions in Barcelona and Vienna. His recent practice incorporates artificial intelligence as an extension of human creativity—a tool through which artistic ideas can gain new forms and resonate more strongly with their audience.

In Beyond the Frame, paintings move beyond their original existence. Born as painterly gestures marked by expressiveness and inner tension, these works are no longer confined by the limits of the canvas. Through artificial intelligence, the originals enter a new temporal dimension — not as spectacle, but as continuation. This is not transformation, but a second phase of life, in which technology does not invent, but resonates.
