Nikolo Balkanski began painting at very early age and graduated from the Medium Special Arts School in Sofia, Bulgaria, when he was 18. At just 21, he held his first solo exhibition, featuring portraits of some of the country's leading actors, poets and politicians, organized by his father, who is attorney, writer and poet. This unique show garnered a lot of attention for the young artist, and he soon continued his studies at the art academy in Sofia, specializing in paintings. After moving to Finland with his parents, he studied at the University of Helsinki. Over the years, Nikolo has been involved in countless solo and group exhibitions, including Artists of America, Great American Artists, Artists of the West, The Brinton Invitational, Oil Painters of America, Stampede Western Invitational, Buffalo Bill Art Show & Sale, C.M.Russell Auction, Western Visions and others. His works are represented in private, corporate and museum collections.
