description

Vladimir Velov Velev, better known by his pseudonym - Mansky, was born in the city of Vidin on March 23, 1914. His family consists of three people. These are his father Velyo Velev, who was a merchant, which explains his absence during the early years of little Vladimir's childhood, his mother Tsveta Veleva, who was a librarian and played a fundamental role in his life, and his older brother Ivan. Manski received his secondary education at Vidin High School. His passion for art began at an early age. Growing up on the banks of the Danube, he was strongly influenced by the beauty of nature, which later became reflected in his work. In 1932, Vladimir Manski moved to Sofia, and soon after he was admitted to the Art Academy, where he studied painting in the class of Prof. Dechko Uzunov. His preferred techniques are oil, watercolor and ink, and the characteristic genre in which he performs his works remains the landscape. His complete dedication to the creative process began after he graduated from the academy in 1938 with an excellent result. In his constant search for new inspirations, Mansky takes his brush with him and sets out on a journey around the world. He started with small steps, exploring initially unknown streets around his native country, and then his interest grew even more and became the reason for his many trips around Europe. With each subsequent destination, the artist opens his eyes to new perspectives and creative possibilities. The Vidin-born artist immerses himself in the local atmosphere, observing the magnificence of nature and architecture. Traveling, he finds many of his muses. His studio became wonderful cities, small charming streets, azure coasts and picturesque fields, carrying with them the charm of being. His experiences became a source of inspiration for his works. Every encounter, every experience appears on the canvas, and every spot of paint bears traces of his travels. The natural and industrial landscapes that Vladimir Manski makes in Bulgaria are of the cities - Vidin, Sofia, Sozopol, Koprivshtitsa, Veliko Tarnovo, Ruse, Shumen and others. In them, Manski reveals the charm of their ancient appearance and traditional Bulgarian architecture, capturing the romantic sound saturated with gentle lyricism. The artworks he created while in Europe were in cities such as Budapest, Paris, Venice, Florence, Vienna and others. The paintings are filled with a modern urban motif, as evidenced by their subjects. From the magnificent art monuments and modern architecture of the major European capitals, to the ancient cobbled streets and landmarks of the Bulgarian cities, Manski succeeds in giving his canvases the feeling of an intimate picturesque sonority, which in turn transports the viewer into another reality, filled with rich vitality. He creates his artworks in an artistic language, close to that of impressionism, in which a rich opportunity for the use of pictorial and compositional elements is revealed. The color range he uses is harmonious and pasty. He prefers warmer and softer colors. A melancholic feeling and lyrical harmony can be detected in most of Mansky's paintings. Vladimir Mansky ended his earthly journey on September 28, 1982 after a short but serious illness. To his son - Valentin, the artist shares that his travels have always been this endless source of inspiration that has awakened his creative potential during his professional journey. Each trip is like a new chapter in a book, full of unknown plots and twists, full of adventure. The artwork "Sozopol" by Vladimir Mansky was created in the 1970s. It is executed in his characteristic impressionistic aesthetics. The landscape captures a summer morning over the port of Sozopol. The composition represents the moment when the sun's rays will rise in the sky and bathe the horizon in its gentle warmth. The loose brushstrokes and lively use of soft colors testify to the painterly quality of the painting. The main emphasis in the work is coastal architecture. Water is presented as a generalized picturesque background, which occupies a key part in the pictorial plane. With the help of stroke movements of the brush, the artist manages to convey the feeling of light and shadow, space and depth. The focus is not on fine detail, but on capturing the fleeting effects of light and color. With his large volume of work and through his unique perspective, the author reveals to the viewer the appearance of the homeland thanks to his comprehensive view. His artworks managed to depict not only timeless themes such as the beauty of his native nature, but also the urban environment that was relevant at the time. (A.MA.)"
