I’m Yeocheva, a Paris & Dubai-based Art curator and photographer — Everything I create is a reflection of who I am, and everything I’m becoming.

My work is deeply inspired by daily movements — dancing, walking, swimming — rituals that remind me of freedom, fluidity, and peace. They’ve shaped the way I look at light, the way I observe stillness and motion, and how I seek beauty in both presence and passage. Whether through physical movement or the act of creation itself, I believe in the liberating power of self-expression — a force that gently returns us to who we truly are.

In 2018, I had the chance to study for a year at Sorbonne Abu Dhabi — an experience that shifted my path. It opened my eyes to the richness of cultures, inviting me to embrace the unique stories and perspectives everyone brings. This deepened my understanding of our interconnectedness — the very reason that later inspired me to curate exhibitions in Dubai, where I immersed myself in its vibrant art scenes and built lasting connections.

Whether I’m photographing artists in their studios, curating a show, or writing, my passion is rooted in connecting with people and sharing stories — always inspired by the courage it takes to bring something meaningful into the world.
