DOT Sofia
DOT Sofia is a heaven for art enthusiasts, curated by our art director Vesselina Sarieva. We invite you to experience some of Bulgaria's most iconic contemporary art pieces at DOT Sofia, where art is displayed in the common areas, inside the residences, and at our regular exhibitions and cultural events.
The DOT Sofia Art collection is a private collection dedicated to contemporary Bulgarian art. The selection is inspired by the humour and melancholic depth of the Bulgarian soul, topics of every-day life in Bulgaria and the world, and our lives as urban nomads. The artworks explore the possibility of empathy and the joy of coexistence in a world of social, ethnic, political and ethical amplitudes and contrasts. The artists offer artistic perspectives, inviting dialogue and creating the feeling of a common space. The DOT Sofia Art collection is rooted in the owners' exploration and early collection of contemporary Bulgarian art since the early 2000s. Looking to explore art more profoundly in the context of the creation of DOT Sofia, the real work started in 2019, when we were able to win Vesselina Sarieva to join the team. She has been an integral part of the team ever since and guides our Art & Culture activities as the curator of the DOT Sofia Art collection and our art director. Today, the collection includes over 200 artworks by established and emerging contemporary Bulgarian artists, including many key pieces from the late 1980ies till today.
Art is life. Each of our eleven Urban Residences and common areas host select pieces of the DOT Sofia Art collection. The integration of contemporary art with bespoke architectural spaces is one of the greatest joys in life for us. At DOT Sofia, we are permanently displaying select pieces of the DOT Sofia Art collection in the public spaces, including some of the most iconic works of contemporary Bulgarian art by established artists such as Nedko Solakov, Pravdoliub Ivanov, Stefan Nikolaev, Luchezar Boyadjiev - as well as emerging artists like Rudi Ninov, Kamen Stoyanov, Maria Nalbantova and many more.
Experience the vibrant Bulgarian contemporary art scene at DOT Sofia. We regularly host exhibitions by the leading Bulgarian gallery for contemporary art - Sarieva/Gallery - and cultural events that are open to art enthusiasts or those who are simply curious and open to explore!
