About Aleksander Filipi

Born in 1952 in Berat, he graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Tirana in 1975. Aleksandër Filipi has started his career in the Art High School in his hometown, to become a professor and Head of the Department of Architecture and Arts in a Public University    in Tirana. He has worked as a restorer of Byzantine paintings and has also spent a period of his artistic life in Venezuela.
