Serbian artist Mirjana Krstevska holds exhibition at Beikthano Art Gallery

AN exhibition of landscapes by Mirjana Krstevska is being held at Beikthano Art Gallery, No. 113/3 (B) on Kaba Aye Pagoda Road, Yangon from October 4 to 11 between 9am and 5pm.
The landscapes, painted in oil or pastel, depict rolling hills, forests, rivers and valleys in autumnal yellows and reds, dark greens and blues, dashes of purple being used to lend an element of the unreal. The collection of landscapes entitled “Green dream” resists the temptation to reduce nature compositionally to strong vertical or horizontal lines, depicting instead masses of vegetation suffused with rich colouring. This is particularly noticeable in the forest and river scenes that bring to life the sometimes claustrophobic nature of such environments.
Mirjana Krstevska, 53, gained her Master’s degree in 1983 from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade, has been a member of the Association of Fine Art Artists of Serbia since 1981 and has worked freelance since 1980. The current exhibition draws together works painted after 1996 and is organised by the Serbian Embassy.
