Scholarly activities

As a scholar, Elizabeta Dimitrova is committed to the investigation of artistic production, culture, as well as socio-cultural features of the Early Christian and Byzantine epochs. In that context, she was the first to identify and disclose the program, iconographic and aesthetic characteristics of the terracotta icons from the archeological site of the Vinica, North Macedonia Fortress which, in the 1990s became one of the main archeological attractions of the Balkan area. Also, she has identified the program and iconographic concept of the fresco painting in the Episcopal basilica at the archeological site of Stobi (fragmented portions preserved from the 4th century). A significant part of her scholarly papers are dedicated to the analysis and contextualisation of the symbolic dimensions of the iconography depicted on early Christian mosaic pavements in the archeological sites: Stobi, Heraclea Lyncestis and ancient Lychnidos. In that regard, she has given special attention to the models of visualization of the dogmatic messages through the symbolic language of artistic expression from the 3rd to 6th centuries (Roman catacombs, Ravenna mosaic pavements, sculpture and architectural decoration in the Mediterranean region). In the sphere of Byzantine painterly culture, Dimitrova has published a monograph on the church dedicated to the Dormition of the Virgin in the village of Matejče (the largest medieval fresco ensemble in the territory of North Macedonia). She has contextualized the fresco arrangements in a certain number of medieval sacral monuments in the region of North Macedonia (Holy Mother of God at Veljusa and St. Leontius at Vodoča from the 11th century, St. Panteleimon at Nerezi and St. George at Kurbinovo the 12th century, Marko's monastery and St. Andreas in the gorge of Matka from the 14th century). In the scope of her investigation of medieval cultural history, she has put a particular accent on the socio-cultural dimensions of khtetorialШаблон:Clarify arrangements commissioned by state and ecclesiastical authorities, as well as analysis of the painterly/aesthetic features of the Balkans' fresco and icon workshops in 13th and 14th century. She has participated in 53 conferences (most of them international) and conducted 29 international research and operative projects.
