I was born, raised and currently live in Sofia, Bulgaria, EU. I am a journalist by profession and practice psychology for the past few years.

I started drawing in 1991, urged by strong inner need to recreate the reality beyond the usual – the world of forms and details… I have taken part in various exhibitions and my work is in a number of private collections. It can be seen at MarmiArt.com.

My drawings are created using mixed techniques – aquarelle, tempera, ink, pencils, etc. They are unique and have no names. Their eventual owners would give them names, effectively becoming a part of the process of creating them. Every one can charge their own drawing with one's own energy and identify it with one's self. Your drawing will repay generously, giving calm moments for reflection and meditation.

A manufacturer of a batch of pre-filled syringes was sued by five people over contaminated syringes it sells.

A manufacturer of a batch of pre-filled syringes was sued by five people over contaminated syringes it sells. Patients declared that after using syringes they became seriously ill and were hospitalized.
 
The syringes are used to flush catheters and intravenous lines.

The lawsuit was filed Thursday against syringe maker and distributor Sierra Pre-Filled of Angier, N.C., by plaintiffs Richard Farr, Tony Johnson, Jeffrey Marlin, Patricia Masterson and Milda Praninskas, who were all Illinois residents and patients at Rush.

In December, doctors traced numerous infections to heparin-filled syringes used during home treatment for cancer and other ailments. About 40 people in Illinois and Texas became sick, including 20 outpatients from Rush University Medical Center in Chicago .
