Return to Innocence

Gallery70 is happy to open the summer series of exhibitions with a selection of artworks from the artist Albana Shoshi .Having the right stimulus to make a painting is not just a matter of inspiration but also having the right emotional state. It seems that this situation was created for the painter Albana Shoshi by the photos of his family and childhood, on which he has built a whole cycle of paintings "This imposition of falsehood, imposed that is placed on man when placed in front of an objective to provoke the idea that not everything in this beautiful reality that we see calmly is so," says Shoshi. A realistic painting that comes very naturally with contemporary colors, a realism that now in time expresses in a way the artistic influence of the painter's father Zef Shoshi. "That early   the basic formation, has also influenced my choice of this current or this artistic form", says Shoshi. From the art critics, Albana Shoshi, in the technical and stylistic aspect is considered a representative of photorealism in the developments of realist painting in Albania. It starts with the collection of information through the camera, continues with the selection of the amount of dimensions and ends with the color execution through the realism in the painting. The artist combines realism and impressionism to achieve her final goal and precisely the artistic image of memory, emotion and feeling lived in a moment in the past.
