Kristina Zimbakova: Philologist and Artist

Exhibitions:

My first art participation was at the Youth Fine Art Colony in Strumica in 1992, as a secondary school student.

In May 2006 I had my first solo exhibition in the British Council in Skopje, the Republic of Macedonia. A selection of the best paintings of my fifteen-year art work until then were showcased.

In October 2007 I was a Featured Artist at the Sylvia Plath 75th Year Interdisciplinary Symposium held at Oxford University, the United Kingdom. A number of my paintings inspired by the American 20th century poet Sylvia Plath were displayed at the group exhibition at the Oxford Playhouse, and at the University I also had a presentation on the specific relations between my paintings and Plath poems.

In January 2008, I had my second solo exhibition, in the Municipality Hall in Bosilovo.

My most recent show is the exhibition with another artist at USAID Residence, Skopje, 11 April, 2008.

Works in collections: Oxford University (UK), US Embassy (Macedonia), Bosilovo Municipality (Macedonia)
