“The deep and dramatic states in the art of Nikolay Todorov are achieved without any narrative, without figurative explanations, only with metaphysical and abstract composing of sensory-plastic structures. In a saturated silence, they express the universal spirit of human anxiety, looking into old archetypes and contemporary states, searching for philosophical meanings, sinking into inevitable destruction, meditating in the black void, rediscovering lost wisdom, collecting and preserving important human symbols, building the personal world of salvation and harmony.” (Rumen Serafimov)
