It brings the mood of the longed-for summer, when Varna becomes the sea capital of Bulgaria. When the streets are filled with colorful crowds headed for the beach, no matter what time of day. There, on the beach, the party doesn't stop, and so does the mood. And when the vacation time is over, everyone will carry in their hearts the memory of another beautiful, dizzying summer. A seashell, at the bottom of the suitcase, will remind of a promise, sand falling from a beach hat, it will call to mind the sound of waves, a hug, a song about the sea and something else... Every work is a lived story or the beginning of one. The forty-two authors involved in the next edition manage to immerse us in the maritime spirit of our beloved city. With a lot of sincerity, affection and at times with a sense of humor, they once again give the opportunity for the picturesque portrait of Varna to burst forth in all its splendor and color - dizzying and captivating. Residents of Varna and guests of the city will once again add to their personal collections. The works will decorate the homes and offices, not only of those living and working in Varna, but also those outside the borders of the country. In addition to an emotional connection with the birthplace and aesthetic delight, they are also a reason for high self-esteem of their owners due to the high professionalism of the artists. The new pictorial puzzle, part of the challenge started five years ago, will once again fill the space of the gallery with its impressive dimensions of 360/270 cm. Another artistic greeting to fans and friends, with which the "Art Marconi" gallery will share its sixteenth birthday and sixteen years of active presence in the cultural life of our beloved city of Varna!
