Lihnida Krstanoska-Blazeska is a multidisciplinary artist, currently based on Gadigal Land in Sydney, Australia. Lihnida graduated from UNSW Art and Design in 2019 with a Bachelor of Design, majoring in ceramics and graphic design. 

Lihnida’s practice is immersed in the visual language of children’s cartoons and fantasy creatures. Delicately capturing the characteristics that make these comical creatures so endearing and captivating, though somewhat unnatural and unsettling. Built from the ground up, with little preparatory drawings, the placement of each limb and appendage guides the next until the work is resolved.

Lihnida has recently broadened her fine art practice to include rug tufting, reflecting her sculptural work.

Currently, Lihnida works as a studio and membership manager and tutor at Clay Sydney.

She also recently exhibited a new body of work ‘With my friends’ at the Gosford Regional Gallery for the Emerging Artist Prize 2023.
