OccupationArtist

Hristo Simeonov (Bulgarian: Христо Симеонов) (born May 14, 1935) is a Bulgarian artist known for his creation of an art form called pario-realism (Bulgarian: париореализъм). Pario-realism is the expression of unachievable states and modes of consciousness and physical reality through the visualization of common elements. Using elements of thought and perception to which all are familiar, Simeonov’s method was used to construct the image of an impossible, otherwise unthinkable reality.

Biography

In the spring of 1950, in a small shop at 25 Fritjof Nansen Street, Sofia, Hristo's father covered the walls with numerous watercolors made by Hristo in the environs of the city. This was Hristo's first artwork. Several years later, the future artist was forced out of necessity to sell all his paintings for as little as a loaf of bread.

Hristo Simeonov graduated in painting from the Sofia Art Academy in 1960. His first exhibition of pario-realistic works was commented upon by Kiril Krustev, an art critic, in the Izkustvo journal.

In 1994 he was invited to mount an exhibition on the premises of the United Nations in New York City. From 1995 to 2006, he published a succession of three essays on Rhythm in Nature: “The Gravitational Universe”, “The Ecatalic Universe” and “The Error of Edwin Hubble”. All three were later brought out together under the title: “Three Imaginary Letters to Stephen Hawking – My Ant-Ego”. Hristo Simeonov lives and works creating paintings.
