abriela Arsovska lives in Macedonia, a dentist, and a Master’s in Human Resources. Little did Gabriela know forty years ago, after winning an award at six years old in her city, Skopje for the best Art Drawing that in her later years, she would reconnect with her artistic abilities. A burning desire to create was born within as her interest in learning to paint on glass began to develop. Gabriela: “That desire was so powerful, that I couldn’t push it away, so I started to explore glass painting and so started my art story. I used every kind of glass to draw and paint something. When I have finished art, I’ve already had an idea of what I will do the next. I feel that colours are my passion. I like to play with colours, and combinate them in different ways. I liked the bright, fresh colours which give life and positive energy of the artwork.” Gabriela’s desire doesn’t stop there. It was growing so fast, so 66 | eYs Magazine, Winter 2020
became the moment when she discovered that making jewellery from Clay-Fimo was her next step in her odyssey for art creations. Gabriela: “Fimo is a kind of clay that is coloured, and there is a big colour palette. I had so many ideas for making new pieces of Fimo jewellery. I played with colours, design, and in the end, I created a unique piece of jewellery.” Once again, Gabriela’s passion for art exploration didn’t stop here, she wanted more and to learn something new. Thinking outside the square, Gabriela became entranced in making ‘Vitrage Lamps,’ and other Vitrage Artworks from Tiffany stained glass. She also learnt how to use epoxy resin in her jewellery creations and how to combinate it with Fimo Clay. Gabriela: “I love nature a lot. Every free time I used to go to the mountain, while I am walking, I collected flowers I found on my way. Suddenly it dawned on me; I could combine these flowers with my epoxy resin so I can make pieces of jewellery which will be unique and special. As a Doctor, I pay a lot of attention to health. I read and explore everything connected to healthy organic food without pesticides, freshwater, and radiation from mobiles and electricity.
