My journey into the world of art commenced during my early years, sparking my decision to enroll in an art-focused high school. My chosen path led me to the Department of Costume Design and Textiles https://lazarlicenoski.mk in Skopje, Macedonia, where my education encompassed not only painting techniques, but also sculpture, drawing, and a comprehensive study of historical costumes. This journey illuminated the ways in which art seamlessly intertwines with clothing, allowing me to harness self-expression. Through the intricate crafts of tapestry and weaving, I discovered the transformative power of art, which has the capacity to enhance every facet of life.
The inaugural exhibition, despite being birthed within limitations of space and resources, proved to be a resounding success. It painted a vivid portrait of my spiritual awakening during that phase of my life. Subsequently, I partook in multiple group exhibitions within my city. Despite a temporary hiatus from art due to the demands of raising my child and engaging in non-artistic employment, my passion endured.

I'm now poised for my second exhibition, which is meticulously orchestrated. The collection features canvases of varying dimensions, with a pronounced inclination toward expansive surfaces. My preferred medium is acrylic on canvas, though I also incorporate diverse materials such as clay and mixed media to achieve captivating effects.
I've now embarked upon the latter phase of my life's journey and have gracefully transitioned into retirement. This chapter has granted me the opportunity to wholeheartedly dedicate myself to my original passion—art. I hold a strong belief that my artistic creations will organically connect with the ideal audience, those who possess a genuine interest in this particular genre of art.
Artist statement
We all, like it or not, are differ from each other. My position is that art must not be just empty aesthetics, harmony of colors, shapes, techniques, materials that will pamper the eye of the beholder, although it should happen.
The task of art in this world is to bring the energy, knowledge, subtle amplitudes of the Divine touch of the soul, which will enable the viewer to meet the soul of the artist, the opportunity to recognize souls and the opportunity for the observer to constantly receive energy from the authentic deed. If art is just the application of colors carried by the unconscious play of talent and the thirst for colors, when there is no conscious message that the painter wants to convey, in my opinion, both colors and materials are misused for the cheap purpose called "colorful lie". In this context, I believe that the artist "gives" his soul for the viewer to "take", to feel the God-given truth that we are all ONE, a perfect set of conscious and realized beings who together spiritually exist as one universe, in which everyone he gets what he needs.
If someone searches for something he may not have been fully aware of, then, through the person of the other, in this case the person of the artist, he can find exactly what in his soul will make the necessary "click" to discover his own personal secret urge.
During the year 2022, I engaged in an art competition hosted by The Pinacothèque, a privately held museum situated within the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. It is with great pleasure that I share the news of being honored with a certificate recognizing my artistic accomplishments through this endeavor.

I participated for the second time this year (2023) in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg competition and once more received a certificate for my artistic achievements.

On October 26/ 2024, I was awarded as an artist for mixed media and tapestry, organized by the Luminaru Awards and Jesno Jackson, the founder of Galeria4you. My brightest moment on stage was when I saw MACEDONIA on the statuette. Macedonians are sorghum, if sorghum wants to "take hold", it will grow. Glory to God for every moment when I hear your name MACEDONIA. ❤️
On the first day of December 2024, I received a letter from La Pinacothèque Museum of Luxembourg, full of joy, in which it says:
We are pleased to inform you that you have received the congratulations and encouragement of the La Pinacothèque Museum of Luxembourg for the remarkable quality of your artistic portfolio.
As a result, a Certificate of Artistic Merit has been awarded to you
