This is the public profile of Maja Kirovska, click here to view our interview with Maja KirovskaAbout Maja Kirovska : Very often I find my inspiration in non visual art forms like poetry or music. I like to use their way of expression, so I translate their language to visual. I try not to be limited by the form or the medium, so I express the ideas in many different media like drawing, painting, spatial installation, video, sound, performance in a wide range of forms, from free spirited to strict and precise. My artwork aims to accentuate our potentials instead of our disadvantages and reminds us of using them in full force.
In 2015, amidst the height of the refugee crisis, my artistic practice took on a deeply socially engaged dimension. Moved by the plight of displaced individuals and families fleeing conflict and seeking refuge, I sought to use my art as a means of raising awareness and fostering empathy. Through various projects and initiatives, I endeavored to shine a light on the experiences of refugees, amplifying their voices and advocating for their rights. Whether through immersive installations, or interactive performances, my work aimed to create spaces for dialogue, understanding, and solidarity.
STATEMENT OF ART:In 2015, amidst the height of the refugee crisis, my artistic practice took on a deeply socially engaged dimension. Moved by the plight of displaced individuals and families fleeing conflict and seeking refuge, I sought to use my art as a means of raising awareness and fostering empathy. Through various projects and initiatives, I endeavored to shine a light on the experiences of refugees, amplifying their voices and advocating for their rights. Whether through immersive installations, or interactive performances, my work aimed to create spaces for dialogue, understanding, and solidarity.
As an individual passionate about both art and design, I view these disciplines as intertwined expressions of human creativity and innovation. For me, art represents a deeply personal journey of self-expression and exploration, where emotions, ideas, and perspectives find their voice through various mediums. Conversely, design embodies the fusion of functionality and aesthetics, harnessing creative problem-solving to enhance the world around us.
My journey in art and design has been driven by a desire to bridge the gap between imagination and practicality, seeking to evoke emotion while addressing real-world needs. Through my artistic endeavors, I strive to convey messages, provoke thought, and ignite inspiration, while in design, I am committed to crafting solutions that are both visually captivating and purposeful.
They should be dedicated to pushing boundaries, challenging conventions, and making a positive impact on the world around me. I believe in the transformative power of art and design to shape our perceptions, evoke emotion, and inspire change.
