During this decade, Alexander Kaprichev continued the developmental line of his painterly abstract compositions, watercolors, drawings, and prints.
In the cycle “Music”, the artist demonstrates lasting and profound interests in the fields of music, philosophy, and aesthetics. Alongside friendships with musicians, he had the chance to be part of the 1995 Italian tour of Studio “Concertante,” conducted by Vasil Kazandjiev with soloist Mincho Minchev. This experience provided the impulse for the creation of a series of works from the second half of the 1990s, containing references to emblematic musical compositions.

During this period, a series of prints also appeared—interesting and finely engraved, lyrical etchings, as well as color graphics “charged with powerful figurative suggestions.” Notable are some of the large etchings/aquatints, constructed as complex combinations of drawn and figurative elements, with the dominance of the line. Individual fragments impress with their weighty conception, their entire compositional organization, and, as always, with the striking seriousness of the plastic message. “The ‘echo’ of various cultural eras, layers, and images intertwines with the artist’s personal, individual perceptions and interpretations.”

There also remain many sketches, drawings, and compositional studies which, although sketch-like in nature, possess the qualities of fully independent, mature works.
