Pavel Mitkov was born in Sofia, Bulgaria, to a family of young engineers. Back then, life in socialist Bulgaria was set and uniform - everybody had work; education and healthcare were free of charge; people went on vacation once a year to whatever destination they were sent to from work. Those are the artist’s earliest childhood recollections of a seemingly smooth and secure life, which, however, was lacking many other opportunities for creative outlet and recognition.
