Jana Kunovska

Jana Kunovska is a visual artist from Skopje, North Macedonia, known for her expressive figurative painting. Her work often explores themes of human emotion, social dynamics, and symbolic play. She primarily works in oil on canvas, combining drawing and painting techniques to create layered, psychologically charged compositions.

Kunovska’s exhibitions frequently feature large-format works. One of her notable exhibitions, Šetnja divljom stranom ("Walk on the Wild Side"), held in Belgrade, included three series of paintings developed over several years. These works explored themes such as the human figure, emotional states, and symbolic representations of card games. Her approach invites the viewer to become an active participant in interpreting the visual narrative, often blurring the line between observer and player.

Her art is described as a fusion of personal experience and broader cultural references, with a strong emphasis on the psychological and emotional resonance of form and color. Critics have noted her ability to evoke both historical memory and contemporary introspection through her compositions.

Jana Kunovska continues to exhibit across the Balkans and Europe, contributing to the regional contemporary art scene with a distinctive voice rooted in both tradition and experimentation.
