MEET MIHOV
Mihov is a British-Bulgarian, transcultural contemporary artist whose work dissects capitalism, consumerism, and the human psyche with bold colours, biting wit, and layered symbolism. Known as the “Banker by Day, Artist by Night,” Mihov’s work merges a background in international finance with a multidisciplinary practice that spans all mediums.
​
Born in post-communist Bulgaria into a family of mathematicians and creatives, Mihov’s worldview was shaped by both logic and creative flair. His works collide currency signs, luxury branding symbols, and spiritual iconography — gathered from childhood monastery visits to a career at London’s gilded seats of Canary Wharf — inviting viewers into a seductive, yet reflective journey of what constitutes modern life.
​
Now 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. The works are at once punchy and cerebral, confronting with equal doses of 24k gold leaf and irony. The effect is a journey for the viewer from states of seduction into introspection.
​
By blending conceptual rigor with aesthetic excess, Mihov’s artworks turn into a mirror of our values. In standing before one, the viewer becomes both participant and subject.
​
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.
