ON THE BRINK

A Collection by Iva Tsolova-Kutsarova

With On the Brink, Iva Tsolova-Kutsarova confronts one of the most urgent crises of our time: the accelerating degradation of our natural environment, driven by human activity. Through this collection of 20 evocative paintings, she sheds light on the irreversible damage caused by pollution, climate change, armed conflict, and the relentless exploitation of nature. Each brushstroke speaks to the silent tragedy unfolding around us -species vanishing, ecosystems collapsing, and entire worlds at risk of being lost forever.

This collection is a wake-up call, a visual manifesto against indifference. It challenges us to look beyond short-term thinking and reflect deeply on the legacy we are leaving behind for our children and future generations. The endangered animals portrayed – each one rendered in intricate, hyperrealistic detail against bold, sculptural abstract backgrounds – serve as both a warning and a plea.

On the Brink is not only about loss, but also about responsibility. Every action matters. Every choice shapes the future. Through this work, Iva invites us to reconnect with our only home – planet Earth – and to reimagine our relationship with it as one rooted in respect, harmony, and care.
