Step into Desert Oasis: Passage of Time and Places, an exhibition that merges the dynamic energy of urban life with the timeless beauty of the desert. Artist Valentin Yordanov through his art documents his perception of the changing world—where cities like Las Vegas and natural wonders converge into one organic whole. His passion for travel, architecture, and design informs every aspect of his art.
Yordanov’s work explores themes of urbanization, globalization, and environmental transformation. His paintings act as visual travelogues—vivid impressions of the locations he visits or envisions. Inspired by maps and urban landscapes, he merges architectural forms, roads, and horizons into vibrant compositions filled with bold colors, layered shapes, and dynamic lines. These works reimagine cities and landscapes as “non-places,” triumphs of color, form, and perspective that distort geography and time.
