Mr. Levon Hampartzoumian added the finishing touches to an open piece of art from the exhibition. "There is more love than hate in this world", he wrote.

UniCredit Studio modern art gallery set the beginning of the new season with the art project by Ivaylo Hristov - Real Love Story. Prof. Peter Tsanev is the curator of the exhibition, which is inspired by Real Life Banking - the brand positioning of UniCredit Bulbank. It is a photo story, provoked by the modern-sounding advertising message, which is close to the emotions of real life.

The exhibition was opened by Mr. Levon Hampartzoumian and he himself became an artist and added the finishing touches (see pictures). Mr. Ivaylo Hristov encouraged him to finish an unfinished piece of art. The message, sent by the CEO of UniCredit Bulbank, was simple and positive at the same time: There is more love than hate in this world.

Among the numerous guests, one could recognize famous representatives of the cultural and artistic world, like Desi Tenekedzhieva and Ognyana Serafimova. The scenographer, Ms. Ognyana Serafimova, will be the next artist who will have the opportunity to have her solo exhibition in the UniCredit Studio gallery - this was the special award by UniCredit Bulbank for one of the winners in the arts contest organized by Stoyan Kambarev Foundation.
