Joro was born in 1960 in the small town of Tchiprovtzi, Bulgaria. Renowned for its unique style of carpet design, Tchiprovtzi has a distinguished legacy as the home to many a fine artist. In 1973, already determined to make his mark as an artist, Joro moved to Sophia, Bulgaria, where he attended the prestigious Ilia Petrov school of fine art. After graduating in 1981, Joro enrolled at the Nicolai Pavlovich Academy of Arts where he concentrated on various printmaking techniques until his graduation in 1986. In 1987 Joro accepted an art teaching position at Petar Parchevich High School in Sophia. He taught until 1991 when he resigned to focus on his career as an artist. His career has flourished since he moved to Canada in 1992. He paints landscapes predominantly but also creates some exciting abstract pieces as well. Not only does Joro have exceptional painting skills, his printmaking expertise sees service on a variety of etching editions.
