Who is Milena Jeliazkova ?
Milena was born in Bulgaria, studied painting there, and trained in stage design in Plovdid (where she learned about costume, décor and scenery design), as well as taking courses in photography.
Coming to France, she acquired an advanced studies diploma (DEA) in modern literature and a diploma in advanced specialist studies (DESS) in cultural management. From then on, her career could only focus on art, more particularly the arts. Indisputably Milena is an artist: she has had numerous exhibitions in Bulgaria and also in France. However she's much more than that, a rounded artist who also gives her time to literature (working in publishing houses) and to music (as a professional singer in the Quatuor Balkanes, that gives a capella recitals of Bulgarian polyphony).
