Hi, I’m Milena Dimitrova - gallerist and art advisor with a deep passion for contemporary art. For over seven years I have planned, curated, and executed exhibitions and other large-scale art events, always aiming to bridge the gap between artists and audiences and to make the art world more accessible and engaging. Currently I serve as a board member at the Jordan Petkov Art Foundation and I co-founded a charity focused on improving the urban landscape. In my day-to-day work at Largo Art Gallery I collaborate with the gallery's Art Director to curate exhibitions, manage the gallery's online presence and press communications, organize cultural events, design advertising materials, write press releases, and nurture lasting relationships with artists and collectors. I also contribute to community and cultural projects such as European Night of Museums and Galleries Varna and Varna Art Map.
