Artan Draçini
The Cage
About Artan Draçini
Born in Shkodra in 1965, he graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Tirana, Department of Graphic Painting, in 1987. In 2013 he took a Master’s Degree in Graphics from the Faculty of Arts, University of Prishtina, Kosovo. During 1990-2006 he taught Painting at the “Prenk Jakova” Art High School in Shkodra. Since 2006 Artan Draçini manages the Gallery of Arts in his hometown and is a professor of Drawing and Graphic at the University of Shkodra. The title of this work is “The Cage”, due to the impossibility to draw a new line over the existing one. This is an existential concern, just like copper or the marks caused by erosion. An ancient trap!
