With this exhibition, we give well-deserved recognition to the potter Eli Nedelcheva – an artist from Razgrad, who achieved national and international importance, who left the earthly world shortly before her 50th anniversary, in her most successful and fruitful period”, said Prof. Rositsa Angelova at the opening.
In her words to the audience in the large hall of the “Gotse Delchev” University Library, from the distance of time, the exhibition presents the artist Eli Nedelcheva and is a tribute to the artisan pottery traditions in Ludogorie, combined with the best examples of Bulgarian ceramics, which she had an absolute command of.
“In her native Razgrad, Eli Nedelcheva creates art as an independent and creative artist. Her works are in the most prestigious Bulgarian galleries, there are exhibitions in the country, in France and Turkey. Her ceramics adorn private collections on 4 continents: Europe, Asia, Latin and North America. And now she is receiving well-deserved recognition and respect in the Republic of North Macedonia, in the town of Shtip”, emphasized Prof. Rositsa Angelova.

At the end of her speech, Prof. Rositsa Angelova said: “I am proud that this event is in harmony with the words of the great Gotse Delchev: “I understand the world only as a field for cultural competition between nations”, as cultural cooperation between the two brotherly peoples – the Bulgarian and Macedonian!”
