Tomislav Gievski

Tomislav Gievski, born on January 17, 1940, in Kumanovo, Republic of Northern Macedonia, where i finished elementary school and then art high school in Skopje. Faculty of Applied Arts in Belgrade, in the class of Professor Ivan Tabaković with a grade of 10. I worked as a designer in the Ezerka factory in Ohrid, and won the design award at a competition in Yugoslavia.
Since 1990, I has been working as a freelance artist and, in addition to watercolors, I also makes replicas of the Vinca culture from ceramics, whose originals are in the National Museum in Belgrade, Republic of Serbia.
I also painted watercolors at the High School of Arts, and the professor who influenced me a lot was the famous Macedonian maestro Licenoski.
For the watercolors I am painting now, my inspiration is the olive tree, which I stylized into a woman's body with a drawing, the constant motifs of many painters.

I felt a strange connection between the two, hoping that my feeling would be transmitted to the observer of my paintings.

I had solo exhibitions in Skopje, Ohrid, Prilep, Negotin, Belgrade, Kikinda, Karlovac, and group exhibitions in 120 cities in Yugoslavia.
I participated in many colonies of watercolors in Ozalj, Slavonski Brod, Bjalasnica, Prilep, as well as in the symposium of ceramics in Kikinda and Arandjelovac.
