Against the Wind Artwork

I am a self-taught artist from Albania with a deep passion for creating handcrafted art that evokes emotion and a connection to nature. My work blends traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary aesthetic, resulting in pieces that feel both timeless and modern. Inspired by the natural world, I often work with organic materials such as wood, dried mushrooms, and copper wire—transforming them into miniature landscapes, trees, and symbolic forms. Each piece is meticulously shaped and painted by hand, ensuring that no two creations are ever the same. For me, the act of creating is meditative and meaningful. I believe that handmade art carries an authenticity and energy that machine-made items simply cannot replicate. This belief drives my artistic journey and fuels my commitment to pushing the boundaries of natural material-based sculpture.
