"... Rumen Skorchev was one of the great artists, from the family of the most elevated and refined part of world art. Today he lives in another space, commensurate with eternal spiritual values, beyond earthly appearances above geographical and national dimensions. An exceptional graphic artist, illustrator, painter and above all a painter from the class of great artists, who accepted drawing as a mission, today more than ever confronts us with the trials of a personal universe, which we will constantly discover and rediscover in its sublime poetics and dramatic power. Rumen's art is above genre determination, his home is the emotional and spiritual life of man in his bright impulses and abysses of darkness. Whoever knows, understands and loves the language of plastic space and form, knows what Rumen Skorchev is for the movement and self-awareness of Bulgarian art, for Bulgarian graphics and illustration as an art of complex and deep suggestions, an art of refined poetics, an exquisite plastic literature and above all as a spiritual territory, on which some of the most exquisite and beautiful flowers of Bulgarian plastic culture grew and developed. Rumen Skorchev came to Bulgarian art with his entire universe – voluminous in terms of plot and meaning dimensions and elevated in terms of spiritual life. He brought his own principles into the construction of the composition, the structure of the drawing – a spiritual space with complex dimensions in time and the emotional life of people and nature, saturated with nostalgia for the pure world of the child, for the unknown and unexplored in the human spirit – a lonely impulse, accepting the life of the drawing as a Path to the light...“ Svetlin Rusev
