Gabriela Yordanova is a contemporary Bulgarian artist and art teacher whose work unites tradition and modernity through an innovative technique—combining acrylic paints, relief textures, and Bulgarian coins. Her art is deeply connected to cultural identity, personal memory, and the power of the female image.

In addition to being an active creator with solo and group exhibitions across the country, Gabriela is also an organizer of art events, competitions, and charity initiatives in her hometown of Ihtiman. Her works stand out with emotional depth, symbolism, and a unique style that blends the past and present in layers of color, light, and texture.
