On 18 September 2025, the ‘13 Centuries of Bulgaria’ National Endowment Fund opened Teofana Maneva’s exhibition, titled ‘Tales from the Palette’, at the Prof. Vasil Gerov Hall. It included 20 works the artist produced over the past two years.
‘There are no impossible ideas, as long as you put your heart and soul into them,’ said Teofana Maneva, adding: ‘I was lucky to grow up in a family where the world of fairy tales was revered. My childhood was filled with brave heroes, mermaids, ghosts, nymph-dryads, and dragons, from the stories of my great-grandfather, Professor Nikolay Raynov. I turned the wardrobe full of hanging belts and bags into a magical forest, while the kitchen table became my cave hidden deep in the rocks of the mountain.’
The exhibition runs until 15 October 2025.
