About the Artist

 

Desislav Gechev was born in Ruse (Bulgaria) in 1972. He graduated high school with a degree in "woodcarving" in 1991. In 2000 years he graduated from the University of Veliko Tarnovo (Bulgaria) with a degree in "Graphics". During 2002-2003 he started his first attempts at making pipes. He experimented with different breeds of wood- cherry, beech, oak and especially pear.

 

In 2008 he started working only with Briar wood. He likes classical forms of fmoking pipes, but also sometimes he carves sculptural pipes with its own unique face. In this endeavor are helping him knowledge of carving combined with lessons learned in sculpture. He is currently assistant-professor of Drawing at the University of Ruse.
