Julian Jordanov was born in Lovech,
Bulgaria. He has continued to live and work there, after receiving
his Masters in Fine Art from the National Academy of Fine Arts
in Sofia, Bulgaria. His prints are strongly influence by both
surrealism and symbolism, and he is highly sought after for the specialized
medium of creating ex libris prints. These smaller prints are almost
always accomplished in etching and aquatint, and show a superb level
of detail and skill hard to find outside eastern Europe. He also
works in lithography for larger, more surrealistic prints.
