Many years ago, on the shore of the incredible Prespa Lake, I met a small boy, always so thin and tall. It was Filip. Years passed, this boy finished high school, and expressed his desire to study ceramics in Bulgaria. He became a student in my class, graduated and eagerly went out into the world. His interests and vitality even as a student sent him to the colonies in Troyan, Montana, Croatia, Serbia and of course in Macedonia.
His participation and awards in Egypt and Belgium were dictated above all by his desire for work. This ability to work, enhanced by his qualities, naturally, turned gradually into certain results mirrored in his next exhibitions - collective and individual in Macedonia and outside of it. One of them was our joint exhibition in the city of Skopje as part of the "Skopje Summer" festival in the beautiful space of "Cifte Hamam".
This ability of his to work brought him once again to Sofia for his exhibition, on the occasion of which he brought us here today.I will not talk about the qualities of his works, they are visible in the exhibited works and have been proven many times as an established, young and sought-after author. I would like to express the satisfaction of our next meeting, as well as my gratitude to the Macedonian Cultural Center in Sofia in the person of Dosta Dimovska, without whose help we would not be here today.Thank you once again and have a nice time on the path of art, on which there are no limits.
