Mira Nedyalkova (Bulgarian Cyrillic: Мира Недялкова; May 17, 1972) is a Bulgarian visual artist best known for her underwater and erotic photography.
Early life and education
Nedyalkova was born in Sofia, Bulgaria. As she grew up, she admired the work of photographers and painters like Egon Schiele and Jan Saudek, who inspired her to pursue a career in visual arts.[1] Later on, Nedyalkova received her degree from the National Academy of Arts in Sofia.[2][3]
Career
Nedyalkova first displayed her art to the public in exhibitions related to her experimental project Mirabilia Images.[4] Many of the photographs in the project featured Nedyalkova as a model. Generally, her early works include a lot of self-portraits.[5][6]
Around 2012 Nedyalkova started doing mostly water and underwater shots.[7][8] This type of fine-art photography was not yet mainstream, and Neyalkova's imaginative surreal concepts caught the attention of the art scene, which lead to her works being published in renowned magazines.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]
Nedyalkova's piece Revival (2015) is on permanent display at the Museo arte contemporanea Sicilia.
In 2022 Nedyalkova released two short films as part of her long-coveted idea to revolutionise the idea of pornographic films by creating Shadows of Ourselves, a highly aesthetic yet sexually explicit art film. The first two episodes of Shadows of Ourselves ended up in the official selections of various international film festivals, one of the episodes winning the Best Cinematography Award (2022) at the Dreamachine International Film Festival in Los Angeles.[20]
In 2022 Nedyalkova started exploring the creative possibilities of AI photography.[21]
