Painter and graphic artist – Ljubica draws landscapes as an important motif and personal stamp that is connected very personally and intimately with the character and temperament and the perception of author-nature. Quite expressive, expressively colourful, Ljubica provides incomparable insight into her paintings, in which landscape and abstraction are not opposed to each other, but instead appear as intertwined threads in the view of the painter and her experience with reality.
Participation in ECHO I
Ljubica participated in the Art Residency that took place in Bitola (North Macedonia) from 22 October 2018 to 22 November 2018, and focused on the local events of the First World War (Macedonian Front) and their impact in the local community.
One of the most beautiful experiences, hanging out with wonderful friends, making new ones, gaining new knowledge and new opportunities for future collaborations, traveling to new places… and I would like to participate in many more such projects, most sincerely and from the heart!
