"I think that art should affect all people to some extent... Because it is the other side of life that is not material in nature. We all have souls, right? I don't know a person in this world who didn't smile or cry..."
In a frank conversation about art, life and their inevitable intertwining, Mincho Panayotov reminds us that we all have sensibility and a need for beauty and inspiration, and sometimes for a brief escape from reality.
The story is part of the "Plovdiv stories from yesterday and today" project within the "HERITAGE" program of Plovdiv - European Capital of Culture.
