Collection: Colio

Colio was raised in Kazanlak, Bulgaria. At age 13, he was sent to a school for fine arts, securing one of the few coveted spots available for the truly talented, despite his parents’ lack of political connections in what was, at that time, communist Bulgaria. He was later chosen solely on merit to attend the College of Fine Arts. Upon graduation, he went on to the National Academy of Fine Arts in Sofia. After the fall of communism, Colio was able to leave Bulgaria and support himself through his art in the West. His works are shown throughout Europe and the United States today.
