Born in 1979, Ivaylo Hristov lives and works in Sofia, Bulgaria where he completed an MA in Painting at the National Academy of Arts in 2005. His works seek to add complexity to the ‘ready made’ by making interventions into objects, often using light, drawing, print and painting.

He has also presented work in group exhibitions internationally, including at Transition Gallery, London, UK and SAMCA (Sofia Arsenal - Museum for Contemporary Art), Sofia, BG.
