About Irena Belcovski
Irena Belcovski is Internationally recognized and collected contemporary abstract painter, currently living and working in Canada. She has always had a fascination and a true passion for art and painting - even as a young child - which brought her to a career in the fine arts. Upon obtaining her B.A, Faculty of Law Studies at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Irena enrolled in a four year mentorship program under the teachings of Milosh Milosavljevic, a Fine Arts Professor who held a private atelier in her hometown Skopje,Macedonia. This is where her passion for art really came through.
In 2012, Irena made a bold move and relocated to Canada, realizing that there was more and possibly better opportunity for her to pursue painting as a full time career. In 2014 she continued her Fine Art education at Sheridan College and now she is a successful artist located in Greater Toronto Area.
Irena’s art pieces have been featured several times on Saatchi Art’s homepage as well as partaken in 2014’s event, “Artist of the Day". She has also won third place in Saatchi Art’s Showdown “Back to Nature”; an internationally recognized competition that drew thousands of entries.
Since 2015, Belcovski is an Elected Member of the Society of Canadian Artists. She has also been featured on the cover and centerfold of Professional Artist Magazine and interviewed for “Artist Spotlight” in Dec./Jan. 2014’s issue.
Irena's work has been exhibited at various Canadian independent galleries and can be found in many private collections around the world.
