Local and International high life crowded at the `Artists` Coffee bar of the `Hilton` hotel in Sofia to applaud the works of Nikolai Panayotov. The artist, who for 11 years now has been living in Paris, had arranged incredibly beautifully painted cones in the exquisite cafe. His paintings which are exceptionally modern and cosmopolitan were arranged on the walls. Mr Armin Zerounyan, Hilton Sofia general manager greeted Nikolai Panayotov and his guests from all political parties, media and professions.
Among the connoisseurs were renowned monarchist Hristo Kourtev (clad in a stylish neo-conservative suit and without Julia Bull who is in Paris), Evgeni Minchev (traditionally very well clad), jazz star Kamelia Todorova (in an everyday negligee), Lillie Stoicheva from `Kalysto` Fashion Agency (with her perfect suit and presence), Milena and Petra (the grand-daughters of Alexander Stamboliiski) and a number of other high life celebrities. Nikolai Panayotov`s next exhibition will be opened in Brussels where the artist will present a series of ten pictures painted in the French capital this summer.
