I graduated from Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje with a bachelor's degree in Art History and Archaeology. I was always surrounded by art growing up with a musician father and through my formal education. Being emotional and introvert I have a strong feeling for the ephemeral world around us, the climate change and the human neglect. So I take photographs of my reality, my surroundings, the places I grew up in and truly love, the people and places in the cities I live in or visit. Looking at the work of the photographers who I deem my mentors (W.Eugene Smith, Josef Koudelka, Boris Smelov) it becomes evident how the world has changed since their time, their reality. So I know, the reality of my son will be very different from my reality today. This thought drives me through my work and gives me inspiration to document my reality as a legacy of my time on Earth but also to encourage the people, the communities to demand a change of practice from their governments. To raise awareness of certain conditions and stimulate change.
