The fourth national Biennial of Illustrations opens today in the triangular tower of Serdica, part of the Regional Museum of History in Sofia. As during its previous editions, the biennial is not themed.

“The aim is to enable the authors to display their best works created during the past 2 years,” say the organizers from the Regional Museum of History. During the event, awards will be given in two categories: for accomplished works such as book illustrations, commercials, and for unaccomplished works– sketches, drawings and momentary inspirations.

In 2018, illustrator Milena Radeva, who founded the Bulgarian Illustration publishing house, revived the only illustrations forum in the country since 1990, giving the start to the Biennial of Illustrations.
