I was born in 1979 in Targovishte, Bulgaria.
People know me by the name of Nasimo or by my spiritual name Kardami Kapila Das.
My real name is Stanislav Trifonov.
I started to practice street art and graffiti vandalism in 1995.
Few years later my style evolved into legal muralism and in parallel I started to explore acrylic and oil studio painting and did a master degree in Fine Arts.
Then Krishna consciousness came into my life and took a big place in it, so I naturally started to paint on topics relating to the Vedic culture and philosophy.
I have painted murals at several large temples in India, as well as at places like Bhaktivendanta Manor and Krishna Avanti School in England and Yoga Vidya in Germany where I was invited to paint the biggest Bhakti mural in the world.
Today I have over a hundred of murals painted as Nasimo and Kardami in different countries and six solo exhibitions in Bulgaria, United Kingdom and Canada.
In order to keep my work consistent I have exposed my portfolio at separate social pages and websites.
Kardamikapiladas.com collects at one place my finest work celebrating Krishna consciousness, the spiritual teaching I am following.
This direction of my art is a very special for me part from my life and I invest a lot from myself into it.
