Skopje, 13 June 2024 (MIA) — Hristina Zafirovska's "Cycle 19 II" solo exhibition of abstract works inspired by the coronavirus pandemic will open at Kichevo's Kocho Racin Cultural Center on Thursday evening.

According to organizers, Zafirovska's latest artworks, mixing pop art and 2D shapes, depict how people's lives have changed since the outbreak of the pandemic.

"The series, on the one hand, interprets the biological process, the circular construction of the virus, its creation, growth, expansion and transmission," organizers say, adding that the works also depict a process of physical and mental renewal after isolation.
