Galya Bukova was born in Sofia (Bulgaria) in 1978 where she was raised in an artistic family; her father was a painter and her mother a writer. The artistic atmosphere of her childhood home was the main influence in her development as an artist.

Bukova graduated from the Secondary School for Applied Arts and Painting in Sofia. While a teenage student, she turned to painting professionally full time.

Bukova works in several styles, such as cubism, realism, pop art, abstractionism and surrealism, exploring new media and new techniques in order to express herself. Just like nature, her art is continually changing and growing.

Her art works are part of many collections around the globe
