Endri Kosturi

With each artwork I want to bring out the transient aspect of existence. From the pigment, materials I use, as well as the pictorial gesture; each element of my painting becomes a way for an emotive and cerebral expression.
I am inspired by the everlasting cycle of nature in its broadest sense; the use of marble, quartz, and limestone in the form of grain that once had a physical strength, all hints to the metamorphic cycle. As the stratified layers of colour conceal and reveal the light within.
Is the brightness coupled with philosophical inquiry that becomes the subject of my paintings.
I keep layering a canvas until the inevitable happens: when the colour dries.
