Joro Petkov was
born in 1960 in the small
Bulgarian town of Tchiprovtzi--renowned
for its distinguished legacy of
many fine artists and unique
carpet design. As a young man of
14, Joro moved to Sophia, the
nation’s capital. He attended
the prestigious Ilia Petrov
School of Fine Art until 1981,
and then continued his training
at the Nicolai Pavlovich Academy
of Arts. His focus at the
Pavlovich Academy was on
printmaking; however, he studied
various techniques until his
graduation in 1986.
In 1987 Joro
accepted a position as an art
teacher at Petar Parchevich High
School in Sophia. He taught
until 1991 then resigned to
focus on his career as an
artist. Joro’s career has
flourished since he moved to
Canada in 1992. He paints
landscapes predominantly, and
creates some exciting abstract
pieces as well. Not only does
Joro have exceptional painting
skills, but also his printmaking
expertise sees service on a
variety of etching editions.
The works illustrated below are examples of the artist's style. Please contact us for additional visuals and availability.
