Kamy S. Tomanov

My carrier first started as a fashion designer - working with colors and fabrics,

doing a hand-knit line and managing the process from sketching to execution. This made

me a part of one highly competitive industry.

As a Graphic Designer I work on a variety of projects – logos, brochures and marketing

fliers for print advertisements. I also create design concepts and sample layouts for

websites, special orders for trade show exhibits. However, my real passion is still to draw

and paint. As an artist I like to make people think of my art, not only to enjoy the colors,

but also to “read” the story behind it.

My paintings are mostly acrylic, oil, watercolor, pastels on canvas and watercolor

papers. I like to experiment with different techniques and materials. Often in my work  you

can see  implants of  metal, fabrics, yarn and leather.

My inspiration has strong connection with the Bulgarian traditions, holidays and

folklore. I have the opportunity to touch and learn for different cultures and I am happy to

share it with new generations. I teach classes in art for children   all different ages that

have strong feelings and desire to specialize art.

My students gain knowledge by participating in discussions. This is the base to

expand their abilities of drawing, painting, sketching, designing, and sculpting, the theory

and history of art. I observe their progress, make suggestions for improvement, go on

field trips to museums or art galleries, and arrange exhibitions of student’s work in and out

of school.
