Eni Turkeshi I am an Albanian visual artist working mainly as a photographer exploring modern and old alternative processes of photography but also experimenting with several mixed media techniques.
To me photography is like a special Braille alphabet that helps us, humans, see, transmit or touch the perceptions, feelings, colors, moods and moments, that we sometimes are just unable to see or express. It helps to explore and express myself while being a never-ending and ever-exciting spiritual journey at the same time.

PAINTING
Mick Hazelman Mick’s Hazelman’s colourful, interconnected panels of flat acrylic delight and intrigue. His inspiration stems from the psychedelic movement of the 60s and 70s, with a nod towards the curious, intersecting shapes of Miró. Many pieces are created from a single line, overlapping and looping to produce rounded abstract forms, while others are mapped out with a ruler and compass. Colours are often painted straight from the tube without mixing to ensure consistent flat coverage throughout the piece. Discoveries can be made; adjacent blocks of colour can suddenly appear as if one is multiplied over the other, while almost animal-like organic forms can emerge if the orientation is rotated. Palettes range from deliberate bold shocks of high-contrast colours through to muted, dusky tones.

In the course of her artistic career, Virginia performed several personal exhibitions within Italy, United States, and the United Kingdom. During her painting studies at the Academy of Fine Arts, Virginia got intrigued by photography, moving from raw film Lomography towards sharper digital captures. In line with this, photography is still a major part of her creative process for paintings and drawings.
Virginia considers painting her best form of expression, fluctuating from conceptual to informal compositions and occasionally, this last is merged with other techniques and materials. Virginia’s artworks pivot around defined themes. Nature is a recurrent topic, and it is often used to explore different concepts, including the alteration of reality and materials, as well as time lawlessness.

I have been painting for more than 10 years. I started with classic graffiti. The main rule that I follow in my work is honesty and awareness that I am responsible before the audience. I believe that creative work is an extremely important part of human life, so it should be treated with care and intelligence. All my pictures are a reflection of my inner world, my emotions, my life position and principles. I draw only what I sincerely believe in and find worth doing, even if it is not popular or not that common to say.
