'Kristina Zimbakova from Strumica showcased her outstanding works below the windiest summit of Belasica Mt, Secena Skala, at 1,740 m alt., on Macedonian-Greek border, a few km from the tripoint between Macedonia, Greece and Bulgaria. Three series of artworks were exhibited – about thirty works created in her unique technique. The show entitled She Flew the Kite was attended by numerous art and nature aficionados.' Plusinfo, June 2019.
‘Unique exhibition by Kristina Zimbakova – the rare fungi from Golem Grad find their home in artworks. In the exhibition Mycorrhiza, fungi from the list of threatened species have been applied, which, intertwined with paint and poetic motifs, seek to demonstrate the immortality of nature and art.’ Dnevnik, June, 2015
‘This cross-discipline re-evaluation is most evident in the brilliant artwork by Zimbakova, whose "The Ariel Story in Painting" not only responds to Plath's "Daddy " and "The Jailor," but juxtaposes these artistic compositions – so rich in detail and texture that they are themselves visual essays – against poems of a quite different inspiration: "Morning Song," "Child," and "Balloons." Interpreting "The Fearful" and "The Other," she contemplates Plath's use of the double, so much so that in them Zimbakova creates expert translations from Plath's work to visual arts.’ Editor’s Note, Plath Profiles, summer 2012.
