Description
At the heart of this linocut, an unfolding flower cradles the nude figure of a woman. The artwork embodies the search for a sanctuary—a space of rest, renewal and compassion. Like a flower absorbing light to bloom, it speaks to the need for nourishment and gentle refuge – where one can pause, recharge and find solace in stillness. Ana Spasova was born in 1996 in Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia. She received her BFA and MFA in Printmaking with a subprogram in Conservation and Restoration from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Skopje. Her artistic practice is centered on traditional and experimental printmaking, drawing, photography and mixed media. Her work explores the nature of the human psyche – the relationship between the conscious and the subconscious and their visual manifestation in the artwork through signs and symbols. She works as an Assistant at the Department of Printmaking and Transmedia practices at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Skopje. She is a member of the Association of Artists of Macedonia since 2019.
