Zlatyu Boyadzhiev

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zlatyu Georgiev Boyadzhiev (Bulgarian: Златю Бояджиев) (October 22, 1903 – February 2, 1976) was a Bulgarian painter. He is known for his portraits and landscapes, depicting mainly Plovdiv and village life in its vicinity.

Born in the village of Brezovo, Plovdiv region, Boyadzhiev graduated in painting from the Sofia Academy of Fine Arts in 1932. His work is generally divided into two main periods — up until 1951, when he fell ill and temporarily gave up painting, — from the time of his recovery a few years later until his death in 1976, in the city of Plovdiv.
