Valdrin Thaqi
Biography
Born in 1994, in Skënderaj, Kosovo
Lives and works in Prishtina, Kosovo
Valdrin Thaqi is graduated from the Department of Arts at the University of Pristina in 2019. Thaqi is known for his multidisciplinary artistic practice, with a particular focus on painting. His work is a reflection of profound philosophical inquiries into the human experience. He deliberately undermines a straightforward, unambiguous reading in his work, weaving conflicting meanings in them. These images, universal in their essence, invite viewers into a realm of multiple interpretations, challenging preconceived notions and stimulating dialogue between the artwork and its audience.
