An Interview with Painter Grigor Malinov by Petia Hinkova
Edited by: Lauren Sophie Kearney
Grigor Malinov: It is very important to save and keep the invisible flame inside you
What does painting mean to you? Have you ever tried to live without painting?
I once read something, but I cannot remember well enough if it was about the fine arts or just art in general. I realized and adopted the following idea: when you start something, you do it with desire and enthusiasm.
Later on, you may transform that into knowledge and become fluent and even make it your profession, but to create real art is beyond this point. It is not just the emotions, success, or acknowledgments that push you forward.

Dear Poet,
SPRING POETRY RAIN in Nicosia
the capital of Cyprus – the last divided city in Europe
in May, 26 at 17.30
We are two cultural organisations, Ideogramma and Sidestreets, each based on either side of the divided city, and with this letter we are inviting you to participate in a new project of ours titled SPRING POETRY RAIN, as one of the many poets whose work will be dropped from the sky on Nicosia, over the whole length of Arasta / Ledra Street, which is divided into two at a checkpoint that separates the city in two.
The project
Many types of balloon will have been put in place above the whole length of Arasta / Ledra Street from lunchtime. The largest balloons (1.80 m in diameter) filled with the poems) will be burst in predetermined time intervals dropping the poems.
Many stages will be placed along the street too. From these musicians will play and poetry will be read. Read on →
