Illustration is a kind of mediator between a book and a reader with a specific message.It is an interaction and complementarity between fine arts and literature. Also communication – dialogue between the artist and the writer, but on the pages of the editions. As an artist, illustrating various literary works, he associates his creativity with that of the written word.

The Bulgarian illustration began to form as a separate genre in the early twentieth century. The first generation of Bulgarian painters-illustrators – Boris Angelushev and Ilia Beshkov gave a good foundation to everyone after them.
