​

​Elitsa Ganeva (born 1986, Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria) lives and works in Cambridge, England. She is a graduate of the University of Veliko Tarnovo with a BA (Hons) in Bulgarian Philology and Journalism. Elitsa has been writing poetry and literary texts since an early age. Her poems and texts were published at Hartikel.de (2020), Lunatic.bg, Manu Propria (2015), Trubadurs Magazine (2012), Public Republic Magazine (2008), Ragika Medley and Кръг Magazine (2006).

She has been active as an artist since 2006. Entirely self-taught in that field, she got interested in the subjects of self-observing and describing the emotional paths of creativity and creative prоcess through art. Her work often is focused on problems such as self-doubt, isolation. It utilizes raw female energy and creativity as a way of resolving deep emotional riddles. She is interested in mixing traditional and digital media. Elitsa has worked in a collaboration with a number of musicians - Dario Mambro and his band Der Zirkus Brennt (Italy), Vasko The Pig (UK), E.U.E.R.P.I. (Bulgaria), the UK-based jazz musician Liran Donin, Krāllār (Bulgaria).
