Uvavka and Kostika
In my many years of professional activity in the field of visual arts, I have noticed a pattern: some artists rise suddenly, unexpectedly, and loudly, and are called "discovery of the day." But that's only until the morning! The rest is life in cafes, loud poses, and creative intentions—but there's never enough time for them.
Ubavka Toncheva and Kostika do not belong to them! They live with their truths, even though they have suffered for them. They have a long and self-critical journey ahead of them, but they are ready to face themselves. They are always together! They built the most successful creative duo in history, inspired by their undeniable love and undeniable talent. They are inseparable! They boldly entered the world of galleries with the purity of their feelings and the beauty of their statement about the things of life, lavishly and anxiously bestowing upon us their magnificent creations.

I have always taken their work as their common home, and I always will. As the wise have said, a house is easy to build, but a home is hard to build! They built him with a realistic, human appearance, not an idealized one. Once upon a time in Sumer, Egypt, and not only there, the word "creator" meant "the one who creates life"! Ubavka and Kostika built their home in art. Through sheer creativity, they transformed abstract concepts related to human sensibility into clear and memorable images and states.
Ubavka and Kostika have created a world of their own. It is a world born of their love, conceived through their art, and protected by their talent. Every work in this world is an outstretched hand, ready to take their path. The lamp in the hand of the Creator illuminates the way, one step ahead of him and two ahead of us. Take the hand that has been extended to you. I have followed them in their search for the place where the work is not just a composition, primer, oil or acrylic paint, not cut stone, cast metal, etc. It is simply a monument of beauty and love. This is the world Ubavka inhabits, and Kostika will forevermore. Death does not exist in this world!
