The Dream of the Butterflies (Сонот на пеперутките) Painting

Kristina Zimbakova (1975) is a Macedonian painter, creating symbolic and figurative mixed-media paintings with rich texture. Her art practice is interdisciplinary: poetry references along with fungi and lichens as media are major features of her work. The fungi originate from habitats from all over the world, obtained from dry collections or during personal forays in collaboration with bio-scientists. She also creates handmade fungal paper artworks.
