Anton Savov
Bulgaria
“When I was two years old, man walked on the Moon! I grew up in the mountains, among light, air and water, as a result of which (and agreeing with the Bible, Genesis 1:3-5) it became clear that photons are my path ahead. At the age of four, I could paint. As a teenager, I explored light – through a telescope and the viewfinder of the family film “Beirette”. I find the meaning of life even without the Moon. To “Leave a legacy”, faith, imagination and heart are enough! My mission – Ambassador of light!”
He has been studying arts since he was a child. He graduated his secondary education in art majors “Wood Carving” and “Interior Design”.

Between the tangible and the hidden …
between the substance and the incidence of …
These distances are where life takes place.
When life gives space (momentum) to the spirit and lightness of soul,
only then does the air fill the lungs. That is when a person is complete.
