(Albanian, born in 1968) he studied panting and textile in the Academy of fine Arts in Tirana, graduating in 1991. Very active in many exhibition in and outside the country, Kërçova at his beginnings experimented in different medium such as installation, and mix media, but soon he found him self in oil painting, usually proposed in series. From the 2000 he is one of the important contemporary artist in the country, and a lector of Theory of the field, in the University of Arts in Tirana.
