Description

Blerta Hashani (b. 1997, Ferizaj, Kosovo) is an emerging artist from Kosovo whose work is shaped by the landscapes and rural life of her origins. Working across painting, drawing, and photography, she develops a poetic visual language that connects figurative motifs — animals, plants, and everyday objects — with abstract, intuitive forms. Memory, place, and belonging are central themes of her practice.

After studying at the Faculty of Arts in Pristina (2015–2020), Hashani established an independent artistic position marked by mostly small-format, intimate paintings. These are characterized by a reduced yet atmospherically dense visual world, in which simple motifs unfold a quiet, almost ritual-like presence.

Her practice has been significantly shaped by international residencies in Sweden and Switzerland (2024), where she deepened her engagement with site-specific work and collective processes. Her first publication, “A Story upon the Green,” documents a work in public space and underlines her interest in the intersection of landscape and history.

Hashani’s works have been shown in solo and group exhibitions in Kosovo and internationally, including in Pristina, Peja, Bern, Paris, and Bonn. Earlier presentations such as her participation in Manifesta 14 (2022), as well as recent exhibitions at renowned institutions and galleries, have consolidated her position within contemporary painting.

Increasingly recognized on the international stage, Hashani was included in Art Basel’s list of “10 Newcomers to Discover.”Her work stands as an example of a new generation of painters who are advancing the medium through sensitive, reduced, and yet deeply compelling visual worlds
