NORA AMPOVA
studio 2025
Nora Ampova is a visual artist based in Sofia, Bulgaria.
She holds both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Painting
(2008–2014) from the National Academy of Arts in Sofia, Bulgaria.
In 2011, she specialized in Fine Arts at the University of Hertfordshire, UK, as part of the Erasmus exchange program.
Her artistic practice spans painting, collage, drawing, sculpture, and digital media. Deeply rooted in personal experience, her work explores themes of isolation, solitude, self-sufficiency, travel, and the complex relationship between humans and nature. Nora’s process is intuitive and introspective, often seeking to capture the emotional and
existential dimensions of contemporary life.
She has exhibited widely, with numerous solo shows, collaborative projects, and international participations. In 2016, she received the Young Artist Award from the Stoyan Kambarev Foundation, recognizing her emerging voice in the Bulgarian contemporary art scene.
