Georgi Lechev’s abstract paintings show clear evidence of his grasp and understanding of the underlying principles of enduring fine art.

It is undeniable that Georgi Lechev’s works are distinguished by completeness as regards creating a “modern” painting in the best meaning of the world. The artist reveals a great freedom of expression, uniting reality and the purely psychological image.

If painting for him is a song, springing from the depths of his inner being, this man then has the gift of an exceptionally vigorous dramatic sense and formidable aptitude to invent his own pictorial language.

By chance or on purpose, Georgi Lechev has managed to turn his canvases into an origami outcome. The images have the abstract nature of origami plastic arts and use the space with the sense of tearing a sheet of paper to pieces until reaching the suggestion of a transition from one perspective reality to another.
