Biography

Portrait of Dara Maillard in her studio

I am an artist currently living and working in Zurich, Switzerland. I was born in Sofia, Bulgaria in 2002 where I lived for the first years of my life before moving to Geneva, Switzerland. My artistic practice therefore stands between western and eastern visual influences and aspirations.

Recent projects include Vanitas Reframed, a series of etchings developed during my 2025 residency at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts and the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop in New York City, with support from the American Foundation for Bulgaria.
