SABBI GAVRAILOV
Sabbi Gavrailov is a self-taught Portrait and Still-life artist from Bulgaria but works and creates in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. He originates from the town of Brezovo which is also the birthplace of two iconic Bulgarian artists: Zlatyu Boyadzhiev, who died in 1976 and is known for his portraits and landscapes depicting the village life in the region, as well as Mincho Katsarov, an artist celebrated in France but virtually unknown in his home country.
Sabbi is related to Zlatyu Boyadziev through his great grandfather who was Zlatyu’s close cousin. He strongly believes his talent comes from the roots of the family. There are striking similarities found between the landscape painting style of Sabbi Gavrailov and Zlatyu Boyadzhiev. In his early days, Sabbi also took lessons in the atelier of another famous contemporary artist from the Plovdiv region, Geno Lazarov.
He now actively participates in the local Art Communities in Hertfordshire and exhibits at local events and galleries. He uses oil paint as his primary medium and receives commissions for classic/realistic portraits, still-life paintings as well as landscapes. Sabbi uses his own photography to create his paintings and his works are in private collections in The United Kingdom, The Middle East, and Bulgaria.
