Dimitar Panayotov is bulgarian painter. He graduated in Painting with Prof. Iliya Petrov at the Academy of Arts in 1951. He was a member of the Painting section of the Union of Bulgarian Artists.
Landscape and portraiture are the genres that have always attracted Dimitar Panayotov. His numerous natural paintings are dedicated to Sozopol, Balchik or Melnik, to Strandzha Sakar or the Tundzha River. The artist does not paint in nature, but there he gathers impressions and makes preparatory sketches.
Through saturated, bright colors and generalized forms, he expresses feelings, emotions and moods. Panayotov uses his own painting technique. After layering, scraping and blurring the "capricious" oil pastel, a complex pictorial world with deep colors and rich shades appears.
Cheerful blue-green hills, orange meadows, deep green trees and tucked-away gray-white houses come to life on the canvas. The effect of Dimitar Panayotov's oil landscapes is similar, in which he does not look for the specifics of a given place, but sings of the pure ratio of forms and colors from nature.
In his portraits, the artist approaches nature in a different way. It strives to faithfully and accurately convey the features of the model, while at the same time capturing state and mood.
