Astral connection Painting

INTRODUCTION: I am Maja Pavlovska - Maja Angel), ICA - International Certified Artist, self-educated painter, born 1968 in Skopje, Macedonia, living in the Netherlands since 2008 with my son, Boban. I would never be completely satisfied like I feel, without my son`s and my family’s love and support in everything I do. Painting is one of the jobs that makes me feel happy and relaxed, fulfilling my soul. I paint from very young age, but I have never been educated professionally in this field. My profession is a Manager of tourism, but I am most of my life in the Art, as a self-educated artist painter, guided mostly by Academic professor of Art, Ratka Ilieva - Lale (From 1984, until 2008, when she died). I attended many exhibitions, trainings, workshops and colonies under her supervision. I paint even more after I've got paralyzed in 1991. Painting is part of my “soul therapy” since then. I was right-handed and left-handed at the same time, but after the illness, I use only my left hand for painting and writing, because it was the first one that recovered faster. I had three successful independent exhibitions in Macedonia in the cities of Skopje, Ohrid and Kumanovo in 1996 and 1997, which passed with very positive art critic by the audience, but also by the Curator in the Art museum in Skopje, Macedonia, Zarko Tozi, and the Curator Ljupco Malenkov, the Director of the Cultural informative Centre of Skopje, Macedonia, that time. In 2007 I was attending as a guest painter and lyrics writer at the exhibition of Nena Sesic – Fisher, at KCN in Nieuwegein, the Netherlands. I was also one of the 45 painters who attended the big traditional exhibition in WVT Bilthoven, region of Utrecht, named “Kunst uit eigen provincie” 2013/2014. From 2018 I am member of the National association of the visual artists of the Netherland, in short NABK. - On 22nd of September, 2020, i achieved a certification as International Certified Artist and I'm entitled to use the abbreviation ICA after my name. The certification has been issued by the International Institute for Artist Accreditation. More detailed about the exhibitions which I attended, you can read in the parts of Exhibitions or Events, below. I mentioned above that painting is “one of my jobs”, because I am also a songwriter, especially lyrics writer, in my birth country of Macedonia.
