I am a multidisciplinary visual artist whose subject matter is the exploration of the inner self, placed in the context of man, society, and spirituality. Since 2012, after completing my first M.F.A., my practice has focused on the collective unconscious, collective memory, and inherited trauma. My aim is rather to bridge these complexities throughout visual manifestation in order to create a 'space' of reflection and possibilities. In addition, an emerging 'branch' of my practice is creative writing experimentally used throughout my art practice. I was born in 1986 in Elbasan, Albania. I grew up in a politically persecuted family, with my grandfather imprisoned for political reasons. This historical compound of the family has shaped my childhood and, of course, my personality as well.

The background I've been exposed to explains why, as a child, I was driven towards learning art and then exploring the realm of psyche and transcendence and seeking self-transformation as an adult. The origin of my ancestors is rooted in communities that lived in the open nature, known for being shepherds, living in the mountains. They are popular for making wool-made goods such as the traditional Albanian carpet. I believe that this inheritance is another factor that amplifies the level of my own creative flow. I have the tendency, often, to turn to nature and have it as a foundation to develop personal critical thinking.

After finishing the artistic high school in Elbasan, where I studied drawing and painting for 4 years, I left Albania and moved to Athens in Greece. There, in 2006, I went to study visual arts at the Athens School of Fine Arts. During 5 years of studies, with a focus on painting and sculpture, I worked for the National Opera of Greece and collaborated with different artists who worked in stage design, festivals, and theatre props making for live performances. To me, living in Athens, from 2005 to 2013, was a mixture of different experiences that enriched my artistic practice. Working as an art teacher, engaging in exhibitions, and collaborating with different artists had helped to expand my perspective and thus influence the initiation of a self-philosophical quest.

This quest of philosophical endeavor took me to Scotland in 2014, where I studied for a second master's degree. In Scotland, I studied art, society, and publics through art practice and creative writing modules. This period was very significant to the shift that my work would take afterwards. Since then, my interest in concepts, research, and writing has constantly grown. I have been engaged in coordinating and writing about collective exhibitions of young artists. I have developed ideas for cultural projects and culture-related projects since 2018. In these collaborations, the most significant to me is the "Present Past" exhibition at the former prison of Spaç in Albania in 2024. In this self-coagulation, I enjoy exploring the world and observing it from different perspectives that involve artistic authenticity and interpretations.

So, I primarily use my notebooks for self-reflection, documenting memories, philosophical thoughts, and critiques while incorporating language into my artistic practice with a sense of playfulness and provocation. I think it is clearly seen that I'm a Jungian at heart, and I find myself continuously exploring the rich landscapes of alchemy, psychoanalysis, and philosophical inquiry. I am always ready for new collaborations, and I'm eager to participate in activities or projects that involve new opportunities to learn and build meaningful experiences for people.
