Krasimir Dobrev was born in 1962 in Sliven. Graduated "Painting" at the Art Academy in Sofia under Prof. Petar Mihailov.
He presented his first exhibition in 1995 in Sofia. In the same year, he won the award for the best artist in the "Izkustvo Art in Bulgaria" magazine and became one of the creators of the Disco 95 group.
His paintings are intelligent, often referencing quotations from art history that require a good knowledge of the subject matter. He often includes painted letters and words in his paintings, displacing their meaning with the images and thus creating a new pictorial grammar. Krasimir Dobrev's art borders on surrealism. It shows the absurdity of consciousness, the perversion, without necessarily being a dream or subconsciousness.
