Curated by Jana Janeska Risteski, president of the Art Council of CSLU-Prilep, the auction presented six original artworks by acclaimed women painters from Macedonia, Serbia, Russia, and Australia. Each piece carried a strong emotional and artistic narrative, aiming to bring inspiration, empowerment, and beauty into the homes of the supporters.
