Skopje, 11 September 2024 (MIA) — Macedonian artist Hristina Zafirovska's small acrylic paintings fousing on how the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has changed our lives will be put on display at North Macedonia's Cultural and Information Center in Sofia. 

The exhibit, titled "Cycle 19 II," is the second time Zafirovska has had a solo art show in Bulgaria, organizers said in a press release.

She will attend the exhibition opening and meet the Sofia audience.

"Through her series of 19 works on the topic of Covid-19, the artist is showing us the real and the invisible with the naked eye, in an abstract and vivid way, prompted by the changes in the course of life caused by the pandemic," Biljana Galoska is quoted as saying in the release.

The artworks, according to the reviewer, interpret "the biological cycle of the virus, its creation, multiplication, spread and transmission." 

Hristina Zafirovska (b. 1983, Skopje) is a formally trained painter and graphic designer. She holds a bachelor's degree in Painting and Graphic Design from the state university's Faculty of Fine Arts and a master's degree in Graphic Design from the Faculty of Design and Multimedia.
