Biography:

Alexander Kaprichev was a Bulgarian artist born in Varna in 1945 and died in 2008. He was known for his fine art paintings and decorative-monumental works. He left a considerable legacy of paintings, watercolours, drawings, etchings and monumental art. Kaprichev studied at the National Academy of Arts in Sofia and later at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels. He lived and worked in England between 1999 and 2006, where he worked at Independent Studios in Leicester and Birmingham. His art was influenced by his travels and experiences in different countries, and he was known for his ability to reveal deep and meaningful beauty in few touches of skilled brushwork, enforced by a marvellous palette choice.
