Mitko Zhelezarov was born in Plovdiv, Bulgaria in 1966. He studied at the Pedagogic Colleges of Fine Art, Bulgaria in 1988. In 1998 graduaded Royal Fine Art , Haggue , Holland.

Mitko gives expression to his ideas and emotions using abstract and symbolistic imagery. His creative pursuit is intimate, specific and carries the power of suggestion. He prefers to use vivid expressive colours with complex and soft shades to create ambitious, bright imagery. Mitko draws on the old traditions of Christian Iconographic painting, recreated in a contemporary and up-to-date manner. Major symbols used in his work include keys, numbers, letter, eyes and fish. HIs sole thought, when he finalizes a painting, is to carry the positive feeling of life that people can take with them.
