Skopje, 2 March 2023 (MIA) — An exhibition of sculptures by Sinisha Noveski will open at the Cultural Information Center at 7:00 pm. Titled “Family,” the exhibit showcases Noveski’s latest sculptures, which he describes as “not only an experiment in style, form, and material, but an exploration of closeness and distance, physical and emotional.”

"During the pandemic, as my wife, daughter, and I have been like a world unto ourselves, family inevitably became the dominant theme in my work,” Noveski says on his website.

According to exhibition organizers, the artist is “preoccupied with the harmony of the compact volume” while creating “an artistic expression of contemplative great gentleness.”

Sinisha Noveski (b. 1978) is a formally trained sculptor and arts professor. More than 20 of sculptures have been exhibited in public spaces in North Macedonia, Serbia, Bulgaria and the USA. He has had 19 solo exhibitions and took part in more than 30 group exhibitions. He has participated in more than ten art colonies and symposiums and has won as many awards, both for his own artistic works and for the work of his students. In 2022, his sculpture “Family, Uprooted” won the top prize at the Annual Exhibition of the DLUM Association of Artists of Macedonia.

After graduating from the Faculty of Arts in Skopje in 2002 as the top student in sculpture, Noveski worked as an assistant to eminent sculptors Tome Serafimovski, Dragan Poposki-Dada, Rubens Korubin and Nikola Smilkov. He completed his master’s studies at the Department of Sculpture at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Skopje in 2011 under the mentorship of professor Zharko Basheski.

From 2011 to 2022, Noveski continued his career in Belgrade, Serbia, where, in addition to developing as an independent artist, he taught at the International School Beyza and served as an external advisor for culture for the Embassy of Macedonia in Belgrade and chaired the Board of Managers of the Macedonian National Council for Culture.
