The Work of Loribelle Spirovski


With a number of high-profile awards and exhibitions, Loribelle Spirovski has shown herself as an artist to look out for. At times, her paintings look no different from a photograph, while others delve into the surreal. Sometimes there are abstract, surrealist and realistic qualities all within one portrait.

Born in Manila to a Filipino mother and a Yugoslav father, Loribelle migrated to Sydney and
earned a degree in Art Education from the College of Fine Arts at the University of New South Wales. But when she realized that teaching wasn't for her, she began to paint. Social media played a vital role in carving her creative niche and helped her a lot in becoming a notable young artist on the international scene.


She often blends traditional methods with more experimental techniques. However, she admits that it is her childhood in the Philippines that has had the biggest impact on her art. Her debut solo exhibition in London at HOFA Gallery is nearing its close, but she has an upcoming Portraiture 2020 group show at Arcadia Contemporary in Los Angeles from January 11-30, as well as the LA Art Show early next year.

It's Beautiful, But Also Could Explode

Ah, Taal Lake. Admirable, breathtaking, a perfect postcard of tranquility. And then you remember. Oh right, there's a volcano inside the lake, inside an island, inside another body of water. It's like an  Inception movie directed by mother nature, and frankly, I'm pretty sure she's just messing with us at this point.

Biking to School with Kids

I love biking to school with my children. It's a great way to start the day, and it's a lot of fun. Both of them have their own bicycles, meaning I'm basically herding two slightly erratic cyclists. My kids' two-wheelers are quite new and pretty decent. Mine is more like a rusty ten-speeder with a penchant for chain slippage. It's a cheap, rickety bike from China but it's my vehicle of choice for running errands, and honestly, it gets the job done. My youngest is still working on his steering. My eldest, on the other hand, is all about speed. She thinks she's in the Tour de France, so I'm constantly shouting, "Slow down!" Of course there are moments of near disaster. But you know what? Despite the mayhem, there's something undeniably satisfying about arriving at our destination, slightly out of breath, on our bikes. There are also moments of pure, unadulterated joy – like when we are pedaling along the street, the sun on our faces, the wind...

Acorn-shaped meditation pod

Created by LFZ Studio , this giant acorn in France is a cool space to escape the digital deluge. For some, the wooden pod is a temporary escape from reality. For others, it’s a nice place to take a nap. And for a select few, it’s a nerve-wracking dive into claustrophobia. The pod blends perfectly with the forest and the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant chirping of birds create a natural soundtrack for meditation. In this sanctuary, time seems to slow down, allowing for a deeper connection with oneself and nature. |h/t: Design Boom |
