Biography

Zlati Evtimova is a multidisciplinary Bulgarian artist based in Rome, working across installation, drawing, photography, watercolor, digital media, and participatory projects. With a background in Geodesy and Cartography, she brings a distinct spatial and structural sensibility to her practice, translating scientific methods into poetic visual forms.

Her work draws on both modern art history and the folkloric traditions of her heritage, merging empirical color studies with intuitive, hands-on processes. Zlati is a member of the Associazione Romana Acquerellisti and Unione Cattolica Artisti Italiani, and has studied with leading artists in Italy and the UK.

Her project Random Walks of Happiness—a large-scale installation of 25,000 transformed found objects—anchors her recent work. In 2022 and 2023, her flag designs were exhibited at Rockefeller Center’s Flag Project, with one featured in the event’s official video. She exhibits internationally and regularly engages in collaborative, educational art initiatives.
