Aria has a master’s degree in political science and international relations at Science Po Strasbourg. Passionate about the arts, she merges her professional activities and her taste for literature, drawing, cinema, photography.
Discovering the cultures of the world, her illustrations and stories convey the beautiful initiatives that are flourishing everywhere.
She has worked at the French Embassy in Bulgaria since February 2018, supporting projects that aim to foster the integration of the most vulnerable populations. Inspired by the Social Circus program of the Mini Art Foundation, the Franco-Bulgarian illustrated tale “The Circus of Hope” takes a new and poetic look at the difficulties of integrating certain children, disadvantaged or disabled, into Bulgarian society.
