Elizabeta Avramovska – Rab Morphology 4

She was born in 1956 in Skopje, Macedonia. She is a visual artist working as a full professor at the Faculty of Architecture in Skopje, at the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, teaching subjects in fine arts. She graduated in 1984 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Skopje, in the class of Petar Mazev, and earned a master’s degree at CEU in Prague, Czech Republic. In 1996, she completed her studies at the Faculty of Architecture in Skopje. She participates in significant group exhibitions such as “White Nights” at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Skopje, and in recent years (2016 and 2017) has presented solo projects as a mentor for projects realized by students of the Faculty of Architecture: 2017 ENTER – a 3D collage of Van Gogh’s cardboard room or “Guernica 3D” – a three-dimensional replica of Picasso’s Guernica (3D collage made of cardboard). For the past 20 years, she has used photography as a medium to express her views on certain issues, events, or problems that confuse her. Using her own photography in her collages, she attempts to convey her ideas and meanings that lie beyond the image itself, thus creating new images that have a different context and meaning. In her works, Avramovska indirectly creates a “portrait of the environment” by depicting people, objects, or events, collaging them in different, unexpected ways that create multilayered associations.
