Yanko Tihov

“The artist’s vision is not constrained by physical limits or boundaries. I understand how imperative it is for creative people to be able to travel to where ever they feel safe and nourished. Having this freedom to move and travel, I believe artists push the future ahead of them. They bring hope and unity to a world that needs their vision.” 

Yanko Tihov is a prize-winning painter and print-maker who trained in Sofia and works in London. He is well known for his figurative portraiture, but has also gained recognition for his series of works inspired by changes to the world map. His passport series of limited edition prints are unique examples of contemporary cartography which beautifully capture the borders of today’s world. 

Tihov has exhibited at many national and international exhibitions and is represented by TAG Fine Arts in London. His work has featured by auctions, museum and national institutions including The Royal Academy of Arts, National Portrait Gallery, Royal Society of Portrait Painters, Christie's and London Art Fair. He lives and works in North London.
