The guiding principle in the creative pursuits of the artist Marin Delimarinov is the romantic impulse of the contemporary creator to rediscover his national identity.

The artist draws inspiration from nature, stylizing what he sees through the prism of his own feelings and experiences. Every subject is subordinated to the idea of color as the primary means of expression. Its emotional impact, together with the other components—drawing, volume, deformation, space, time, symbolism—is arranged in various configurations, reinforcing the central message of the work.

For Marin Delimarinov, color possesses its own decorative value, its own plastic beauty—it is the soul of painting as the art of colors. His preferred colors—fiery, blazing—captivate the imagination and provoke reflection, resonating with the different emotional states of each viewer.

Another feature that significantly characterizes the artist’s style is monumentality. His vision involves a volumetric articulation of forms, which often develops into a plastic hyperbole.

Marin Delimarinov creates art which, with its associative color, decorative resonance, and sensuality, connects the Bulgarian painting tradition with contemporary European artistic quests.
