Born in Korce, Albania, 1977, living and working in the UK and Albania..

It was Albania’s longstanding tradition of Social Realism that kindled my interest in the techniques of the classic modernists. I first studied at Cluj Napoca Art Academy, Romania (ex-communist country like Albania but quicker in welcoming Western influences) before eventually ending up in Scotland – first at the Leith School of Art, then at the Edinburgh College of Art.
