ZafTra is a non-formal partnership
of artists of traditional academic education
cradled in the spirit of the Fathers of VHUTEMAS and Bauhaus.
We, Mariya Zafirkova and Dimitar Traichev
have been living under the same roof for 30 years but, much to our regret,
we seldom enjoy the pleasure to work as a team because of heaps of circumstances.
At the beginning of the 1980's we exhibited one jointly made painting.
And we got intrigued in both the result and the process.
According to some, our experience cast a shadow on the cult of The Blank Canvass and I.
Music has always been an integral part of our lives and we would have turned into different persons without
Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorius, Michael Brecker, Jimi Hendrix
The Cream, Stevie Wonder, Sting and many others
