ANDI NALLBANI

(Albanian, born in 1972) Studied painting at the Academy of fine arts in Tirana (1996 – 2000). For several years he studied art history and painting at the Academy of fine art in Florence, Italy. He paints a variety of subjects: snapshots of friends and family members. Often existing images from the internet or mass media are his starting point.His paintings are connected by a special position of the artist facing his existential questions and the social environment where he lives. The childhood and the human figures are seen through meditation and irony, creating images in some cases gathered in groups of squares in ” diary”shape “, and in other cases isolated to emphasize their sense of “icon”. A strong sense of history and personal memory emerges from his paintings which over and blend in his works. Today he lives and works in Tirana where he teaches Monumental techniques at the University of fine arts in Tirana.
