Peter Tzanev (born 1967 in Gabrovo) is a Bulgarian visual artist, theorist, and art historian whose practice bridges contemporary art, philosophy, and psychology. With a background in both fine arts and academic research, Tzanev explores perceptual experience, the unconscious, and the philosophical dimensions of image-making through his conceptual installations, photography, and mixed media works.
His academic interests inform his artistic output, creating a dynamic dialogue between visual expression and theoretical inquiry. He often investigates themes such as visual ambiguity, absence, memory, and the relationship between inner states and spatial perception.
Tzanev holds a PhD in Psychology of Art and teaches at the National Academy of Art in Sofia, where he is a professor in the Department of Art Theory and History. His critical texts and essays have been published widely, and he has participated in international exhibitions, symposia, and academic conferences.
Throughout his career, he has contributed significantly to the understanding of contemporary artistic practices in Bulgaria and beyond, navigating between the roles of artist, curator, and researcher.
