DOORS, 2015/2016
The doors, gorgeous or easy act often how of the time like. They are silence witnesses to the past times, let suspect how behind them lived and suffering was.
TIMELESS, 2015/2016
The religious buildings in Jerusalem, Ohrid – are timeless
The woman: a child / a girl / a woman – is timeless
The water is timeless
The man is timelessly striving to go upwards...
AQUARELLES, 2003/2004
The artist has created these pieces using her own blood as a material for aquarelle. Twenty-five aquarelles have been created, all in different sizes and themes, such as landscapes, portraits and still life, and six of them will be exhibited in the OSTEN Gallery.
The idea for this extraordinary work has begun developing during the project ”Hybrid-Liquid-The Art Force”, Workshop & Exhibition, Casino Luxembourg in Luxembourg in 2003, and has ended with the exhibition of her works in Hall in Tyrol “Mazedonien unter/über alles “, in Austria, 2004.
