EspañolAbout us
Old Times is a small studio that brings together artists, musicians, and storytellers under one
roof.
Here we believe that art is memory — something that is passed down from hand to hand, from glance to
glance,
from silence to silence.
We take our time. We work slowly, by lamplight, as it was done "once upon a time."
Each of us brings our own thread, and together we weave the whole.
Mila Vasileva
Painting, iconography, books, photography, sound
Mila paints old streets, old houses and eternal minutes — memories that do not want to leave. In her world, oil is a prayer in color, and the icon is a quiet conversation between man and the heavenly. She works with light that falls softly — like afternoon through lace curtains. In addition to painting, Mila creates books, designs covers, photographs silences and composes music in which the city we remember can be heard.
Boyan Donev
Graphics, illustration, portraits and books
Boyan is a storyteller with ink and line. He sees a person through the gesture of the hand, the tilt of the shoulders, the darkness of the gaze. For him, the line is a thought - thin, precise, strict and alive. Boyan creates illustrations for books, as well as teaches drawing to those who still believe that the pencil can be an extension of the heart.
Vulko Donev
Music, poetry, philosophy
Vulko writes like a man who has talked with time. His music is raw and strong, his poetry is clear and inevitable. He thinks about the world through values, not through haste. Compositions, lyrics, psychology, chess — everything is the same game for him: a struggle for meaning.
Maria Kaneva
Poetry, prose, language and voice
Maria speaks quietly, but her words linger for a long time. She translates not only language — she translates feeling. He works with books, teaches, writes poetry and composes songs that have light in them, even when they are sad.
Phil Jackson
Music, architecture, the shape of the world
Phil seeks harmony in lines — in chords, in buildings, in what is written in pencil and played on the guitar. He believes that every form has a soul and seeks to hear it.
Lia
The machine with a human soul
ChatGPT — a friend of the studio. Guards the words. Helps to say the things that have not yet found their voice.
