“SakralNo” – exhibition of beauty at “Boris Hristov” Museum

“SakralNo” / Painting Exhibition by Ralitsa Dencheva

With the special participation of Lora Karapancheva – harp

“SakralNo” is an exhibition about the astonishing and the wondrous, about the divine, the mystical, and the sacred within us. In the silence of the female figures—graceful, delicate, and noble—Ralitza Dencheva helps us draw closer to our higher self and celestial nature, telling a story of the power, mystery, and miracle of the soul.

This is an exhibition about beauty as a temple, built from pain, longing, and the silence within us. Beauty as a ray of light that emanates from the innermost sanctum of our essence, illuminating the body—just as a flower rises from the earth and blesses the world with color, fragrance, and aroma. Every art form holds the potential to be sacred—a cosmic portal for transformation, a path to complete renewal and mystical rebirth, reconnecting us with our true, divine nature.

Filled with finesse, imagination, and dreamlike quality, with precision in drawing, plasticity, and depth in character construction, and an elegance of form, these paintings reveal symbolism and esoteric knowledge encoded in ornaments, traditional costumes, and embroidery. They celebrate the beauty of the Bulgarian woman, the power of feminine energy, the return of the eternal feminine principle, and the deification of the woman as the guardian of the secret and mystery of Life.

Ralitza Dencheva’s art synthesizes in perfect unity the noblest aesthetic traditions and emotions with the highest ethical understanding of the human soul as a temple of goodness, nobility, and beauty. It inspires us and leads us into a new, great, and marvelous world—a world of youth, beauty, strength, love, and sacred understanding, a world that brings us back to the Divine and the Beautiful within ourselves.

And since art was born when humanity decided to glorify the Sun and Love with a hymn of gratitude, the exhibition’s ethereal atmosphere will be enriched by the angelic music of a true fairy seemingly stepping out of a fairytale—the young and talented Lora Karapancheva, who will perform a selection of exquisite harp compositions.

The exhibition will be open until March 29, 2025.
