12-year-old Sashko, who disappeared last year and was found after a nine-day search, will present his second solo exhibition today. It will be arranged in the Mining Directorate of his hometown Pernik.

Visitors will be able to see 24 paintings of the boy with autism – all new and painted in the last nine months, according to the father Alexander Tsvetanov. According to experts, Sashko creates abstract art. "Expressionism, he includes different images in his paintings, there are forests, mountains, angels, spirits, figures", explains the parent.

Sashko's first exhibition was presented two months before he got lost in the forest. The boy is a sixth grader and has been undergoing stem cell therapy for some time and is doing well.
