Aneta Svetieva (1944-) is a Macedonian artist, sculptor and ethnologist who lives and works in Skopje. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade, later gained a doctorate in ethnology and became known for work often rooted in clay, memory, folklore and Macedonian cultural traditions. I’m not sure what to note about this artwork from 1983, but it was certainly noticeable when I was walking around the museum. A wonderfully expressive head, wide eyes, an anxious mouth and a look that suggests that the figure has decided that the modern world is broadly unsatisfactory.I rather liked it…..
