In my creativity, the main place is taken by the gender of the composition (multifigure).
The themes of the compositions mainly deal with themes from mythology, Albanian history or folk tradition. But in my creativity I have also treated the portrait and landscape genres.
The images of my works are images of the people and landscapes that surround me every day.
My painting is completely realistic and true.
The audience must know and understand the nature, traditions and images of the Albanian man.
My work is a continuation of Albanian art and painting.
My work is well appreciated by contemporary criticism
