Bekim Hasaj - Malakta

Although I consider myself a transdisciplinary artist, open and ready to experiment outside
my primary field of study, I remain strongly connected to the study of color, sign, and
painting in addition to other ‘tools’ and mediums outside of it.

I aim at an understanding of the genesis of artistic creation to be able to apply and test
it in different categories,disciplines, mediums, or languages.

For this reason, I often find myself experimenting with video art, installation, sculpture, performances, etc.
As I am interested in the multidimensions that these mediums can touch, and I always try to do it
starting from my basic point, painting.

I like to reflect in terms of co-existence, visible
and not, known or unknown,which I see as a parable of my process of art-making.

On the theoretical level, I am interested in psychology, philosophy, and social and
anthropological themes, developing and studying them in a form of self-analysis and
self-perception.

Nevertheless, I believe that to be aware of the totality, one must also be aware of the self.
