Portraits featured in ‘Merger’ exhibition

TIRANA, Nov. 13 – A series of paintings by contemporary artist Dorina Elmazi are being featured at the Zeta art gallery in her solo “Merger” exhibition. “The cycle includes 24 portraits raised in the form of an installation. The works are created processing with simple technical tools like black spray and scratching with scalpel,” says the artist.
“The portraits are faces of my relatives, friends of my daily life, including colleagues, professor etc. Individuals who directly or indirectly are related to art and unite with me. They are treated in a realistic way to pass later to a pure form of abstraction. Overlapped portraits create a new creature, a shape with a mix of abnormal features, into alienation. In this progress of abstraction the viewer and artist both, assists as spectators in the emergence of a new image, observe stages of development and disposition of this multi facial species,” she adds.
