Biography

|
Born august 21, 1950 in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
G.Shishkov started to paint seriously when he finished his educational education. Artist`s big love for the Sea oriented him to the marine landscapes and when he got to know the creativity of the great russian artist I.K.Aivazovski and bulgarian marinist Al.Mutaffov he turned completely to the marine landscapes.
Since 1973 until now he`s painted almost 650 artworks. G.Shishkov is a member of the Society of the Painters in Kardjali, Bulgaria, where he lives and works for more than 20 years. The artist has participated in many exhibitions in Bulgaria, including national exhibitions in Sofia, Plovdiv and Bourgas. There are many paintings, that he has done in galleries in Bulgaria and in private collections. Also G.Shishkov has paintings outside of the country bought by collectors in Spain, Germany, France, Turkey, Kuwait, USA, Belgium, Canada and Izrael.
He paints basically with canvas and oil. G.Shishkov`s paintings are in realistic style with romantic shade. He paints the Sea in its different states, but artist`s favourite theme is the stormy and violent Sea. He often visits towns and villages that are by the Black Sea and he makes a lot of freehand drawings. Except for the Sea G.Shishkov also loves to paint the Nature in its different seasons and the Forest landscapes. Lately it`s been an enormous pleasure for the artist and a challenge to paint pictures with biblical themes. Because he pays too much attention on the details sometimes he may works over a painting for 15-20 days.
