Accordion Sculpture by Nikolina Trajanovska - Macedonia
Contributed by Anica Karakutovska
The accordion sculpture made by Nikolina Trajanovska specially for
the CIA Winter Congress, which was held in January in Skopje, is another
proof that the accordion is a great inspiration for artists to create
beautiful works.
Nikolina Trajanovska is a member of the Macedonian Association of
Accordionists and a fan of the accordion. She is a graduate in medicine,
and art is her hobby. The accordion sculpture was her realization
of our mutual idea and another beautiful co-operation between fans
of the accordion in Macedonia.
After the congress this sculpture is now displayed in the accordion
classroom of Professor Zorica Karakutovska in the DMBUC ‘Ilija
Nikolovski-Luj’, Skopje, and together with the original caricature
(symbols of the CIA Winter Congress 2008), is enriching the nice accordion
atmosphere in the music school.
