Known as the “Banker by Day, Artist by Night”, Mihov is a transcultural, British-Bulgarian contemporary artist who focuses on capitalism, consumerism and the human psyche.

Mihov’s work merges a background in international finance with a multidisciplinary practice that spans all mediums. Born into a family of mathematicians and creatives, his worldview was shaped by both logic and creative flair. Currency signs, luxury branding symbols, and spiritual iconography — gathered from childhood monastery visits to a career at London’s Square Mile — invite viewers into a seductive, yet reflective journey of what constitutes modern life. The works are at once punchy and cerebral, confronting with equal doses of 24k gold leaf and irony.

Currently based in Singapore, after years in Europe, US, UK, and Asia, Mihov channels multi-cultural references into compositions that lure with colours, branding motifs and witty humour, while challenging the viewer to reflect more deeply on the systems shaping our desires, identity and what constitutes value.

​​

Internationally exhibited across galleries, public venues, cultural institutes, Mihov’s works can be found in private and institutional collections of business executives, founders, banks, universities, and cultural institutes across London, New York, Zurich, Amsterdam, Singapore and Sydney.

Artist Statement:
I explore the relationship between capitalism, consumerism and the human psyche. How we worship material possessions and wealth, why we wear status, and how systems shape what we value.

Consistent symbols found in my art include currencies, luxury brand motifs, pop-cultural fragments, and precious metals. My canvas is an arena where currency wrestles with spiritual iconography. This is not passive art, it’s an invitation to flirt with irony, to laugh, reflect, and maybe see yourself—just a little differently, asking yourself, what do you truly value! My work is a mirror - In standing before it, you become the speculator and the consumer.
