For most of my life, movement has been the constant.

I was born in Albania and have lived across many countries, cultures, languages, and identities. I have spent years building a life between places, rarely belonging entirely to one. What began as geographic movement gradually became something deeper: a continuous process of adaptation, reinvention, loss, and discovery.

My path to painting was not linear. Before committing to art, I worked in strategy, innovation, and user experience, studying how people navigate complexity, uncertainty, and change. Over time, I became increasingly interested in those same questions on a personal level.

Painting emerged as a way to investigate experiences and emotions that resist simple explanation.

Working through abstraction, I create visual environments where opposing forces coexist: stability and change, belonging and estrangement, fragmentation and wholeness. My paintings do not seek to document specific places or events. Instead, they explore the emotional and psychological landscapes that emerge when familiar structures dissolve and new ones begin to take shape.

At the center of my practice is a question that continues to guide my work: What remains of the self when everything else changes?
