Gergana Tabakova (b. 1992) is a visual artist based in Sofia, Bulgaria. She holds an MA in Painting and a PhD from the National Academy of Arts, Sofia, where she currently serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Textile - Art and Design. Her academic and artistic practice centers on the intersection between painting and other visual disciplines.
Tabakova’s work delves into the fundamental components of painting, surface, texture, and color, using them as tools to investigate how notions of order, hierarchy, and balance are culturally constructed and reflected in spatial experience. Architectural and spatial references often appear in her compositions as vehicles for exploring the evolving dialogue between humans and their environments.
Through the deconstruction and reinterpretation of forms, Tabakova examines how spaces embody social and historical layers of meaning. By reframing these structures, she exposes the fluid and dynamic interplay between the past and the present, inviting viewers to reconsider how built environments shape, and are shaped by, human perception and memory.
