Growing up in the Bulgarian countryside, Fo developed an early connection to nature, form, and the structures within the landscape. These influences continue to inform his practice, alongside an enduring fascination with architectural fragments, organic forms, and the ways in which constructed and natural elements can occupy the same space.
Fo studied Fashion Design Technology at London College of Fashion, where his research into pattern making, construction, silhouette, and material developed a strong interest in the relationship between two- and three-dimensional forms. Over time, this led him beyond the constraints of the fashion silhouette and towards a broader fine art practice. His approach to drawing, collage, and construction remains rooted in this background, with an emphasis on cutting, layering, arranging, and reconstructing forms.
His current practice explores the intersection of architectural structures, organic forms, and human occupation. Working with materials including Indian ink, fabric, emulsion, and Khadi paper, Fo creates fragmented compositions in which geometric structures meet fluid, gestural forms. Through layering and recombination, he investigates how contrasting elements can intersect, transform one another, and create ambiguous spaces between the architectural and the organic.
Human presence is an important part of this exploration, particularly the ways in which we occupy, move through, and relate to constructed environments. Fo's work considers how these spaces can suggest shelter, restriction, connection, and transformation, while inviting viewers to reflect on the relationships between architecture, nature, and the spaces we inhabit.
Fo's work has been exhibited in London at The Brick Lane Gallery, Aria, Mission E1, The Holy Art Gallery, and Boomer Gallery. His work has also been featured in the Barcelona/Algeria-based magazine Al-Tiba9.
