In the eighth episode a guest in our studio is the independent graffiti artist, designer, curator and one of the active, recognizable heroes who shape the contemporary image of visual culture in Bulgaria, Nikolay Petrov - GLOW. His works transform grey urban landscapes, making them more attractive and friendly. Bright, colourful and distinctive, these interventions are cause for a spontaneous smile. Nikolay graduated from the National Academy of Art with a degree in Advertising Design. He participates in graffiti art festivals and group exhibitions in Bulgaria and abroad.

We talk about the beautification of the urban environment, graffiti subculture and its many manifestations, GLOW's approach to it. He also shares with us what drives him forward. Listen to us here or on your favorite audio platform - Spotify, Apple or Google Podcasts.
