Growing and descending down below,
Reaching tips, the fingers and all corners,
Leafless roots with green pockets,
Holding firmly in the soil.

Ascending and extending upward,
Curling buds and spirals twirl,
Twist and braid the spinal cord
All the way up to the stars and moon.

Interwoven, merging in pulsating core,
Black as oil and light as gold,
Roots and cords collide and then unite,
A fleeting moment of eternal dance.

Introducing @simonaruscheva who will be exhibiting in Micromania, a group exhibition which opens 14.03.2026 - 12.04.2026, at hondstraat 1A in Maastricht.

•••

Simona Ruscheva is a Bulgarian-born painter based in London, whose practice explores themes of
duality, transformation, and the cyclical nature of existence. Rooted in the belief that we carry
infinite potential within us, her work reflects the tension and harmony between opposing forces -
sorrow and joy, thorn and flower, destruction and rebirth. Through vivid colour and natural
symbolism, Ruscheva creates visual narratives that echo the spiralling dance of life’s contradictions,
where suffering can lead to liberation and fire becomes a catalyst for renewal.
Ruscheva studied Fine Art Painting in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria, before relocating to the UK. She
has exhibited widely, with recent solo shows including Seedlings at Galerie OVO in Taipei (2024),
Transitions in London (2022), and The Source at Keep Contemporary Gallery in Santa Fe, USA
(2021). Her work has also been shown in numerous group exhibitions internationally and across
London, including the Royal Institute of British Artists Annual Exhibition, where she was Highly
Commended by the De Laszlo Foundation, and the Society of Women Artists Annual Exhibition.
Her achievements include being shortlisted for the Kate Bryan Art Prize (2021) and the Artrooms
Awards (2019), as well as being longlisted for the Jackson’s Painting Prize (2023) and the Holly
Bush Emerging Woman Painter Prize (2022). Her works are held in private and corporate
collections worldwide, including the global art collection of Standard Chartered Bank.

Liminal Gallery and Kalkman Gallery will be introducing artists participating in our collaborative group exhibition ‘Micromania’, which opens March 2026, in Maastricht.

Artworks from the exhibition will be revealed in March 2026.

Painting has always been a part of me since I was a child. The realisation of wanting to make it my livelihood, became later. And not until recently came the understanding why, striking as a thunder.
Why do I make art?
Why do I paint?
Why is it that even when life gets too much, I always come back to it, no matter what? Always.
