Born and raised in Veliko Tarnovo-area, he was captivated by the natural beauty that surrounded him. One of his favorite subjects to paint was the Preobrazhenski Monastery, an architectural gem built in 1825. However, Zahari's artistic journey didn't end there. He also ventured into Troyan, another town nestled in the heart of the Central Mountains.

Its grandeur and spiritual significance fascinated Zahari and became a recurring theme in his artwork.
