Born and raised in the streets of Sofia, Bulgaria.
The work of GLOW is strongly embedded in the urban
environment and the positive transformation of the
public space.
His journey started with graffiti in early 2000s
slowly shaping his personal abstract language and
distinctive style based on bold compositions,
vivid colors and geometric flow.
