Iskra Dimitrova (Macedonian: Искра Димитрова; born 1965) is a multimedia artist from the Republic of North Macedonia.[1] Her works investigate the experience of the human body in relation to identity and its environment, emphasizing intimacy and ambiguous meanings in between different spaces. Most often, she is the subject of her own works. While she does not consider herself a feminist artist in the traditional sense, she sees her womanhood as one of the key aspects of her own identity among many others.[2]
Her works have been exhibited in numerous places around the world, including North Macedonia and other countries of former Yugoslavia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Italy, Greece, Albania, and Japan.[3][4]
She was born in 1965 in Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia. She received a BA in Philosophy and a BFA in sculpture from Ss. Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje in 1988 and 1990, respectively.[5][1] In 1993, she went on a study trip to the United States.[4] Soon afterward, she returned to North Macedonia and established herself as an artist. She currently lives and works in Skopje.[3]
Career
She has presented her work at solo exhibitions and installations in Skopje, Vrsac in Yugoslavia, Zagreb in Croatia, Rochdale in the United Kingdom, Tokyo, Yokohama and Madison, South Dakota. Her work has been included in the Venice Biennial (1999) and at international exhibitions in Maribor, Selestat, Thessalonica, Larisa and Providence, Rhode Island.[1]
