Ginka Georgieva in the company of artists Georgi Petrov, Petya Papazova and Ognyan Kuzmanov who donated paintings for the "Beauty Heals" charity exhibition
Ginka participates actively in causes aimed at helping Bulgaria as well as in others such as the ones of the American Cancer Society which aims at examining this bad disease and finding a remedy. The invention of a medicine, no matter where it happens could help cure many people in America as well as around the globe. I mainly support science which deals with medicine studies, says Ginka Georgieva. About the life of the emigrant and her ability to adapt to the American reality, she says:
“It is quite easy because there are a lot of emigrants from around the world and everyone has equal rights as the legislation applies equally to everyone. People respect each other and are tolerant towards foreign culture. The opportunities are immense. If you work hard and are a man of enterprise you can easily succeed.”
Ginka says that her husband is Bulgarian citizen, who has been living for nearly 30 years in USA. This fact has made a great impact on their decision to settle beyond the Atlantic Ocean. The younger daughter was born there, but she has a perfect command of Bulgarian language. ”They are pleased to visit Bulgaria and enjoy their time with relatives and have lots of fun there”, says Ginka Georgieva and continues.
“I always demand from them to value the beauty of the nature in Bulgaria as well as the architecture and become part of the local folklore, songs and dances. The people and the folk music are a real fortune. The local costumes are quite beautiful. My younger daughter shows big interest in them.”
Despite the big distance Ginka and her family try to visit Bulgaria every other year. They spend their time in the company of their relatives and friends. “We try to do many things in a short period. We organize trips to different towns and take walks along our beautiful seaside, says Mrs. Georgieva. Ginka admits that she loves to draw.
“Art is my hobby. It makes me relax. I draw for pleasure and I am happy when I find an exhibition of Bulgarian artists on Internet. Art is a very important part of my life. I make experiments quite often. Beautiful images, impressive colors are the things that inspire me the most. In Bulgaria I am mostly inspired by the magnificent nature: the sunflower fields, lavender fields, the beautiful forests and mountains. Our nature is peerless, says Ginka Georgieva in conclusion.
