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.

Released in 1969, Midnight Cowboy is a raw, sometimes uncomfortable, often heartbreaking, but ultimately deeply human. And seriously, the chemistry between Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman) and Buck is pure gold. Rewatching a movie is like visiting an old friend. You know their idiosyncrasies, their stories, bu...
