About Alfred Temali

He was born in Shkodra in 1963. Communist regime forbade him from attending any arts school, that’s why he is a self-taught artist. Alfred Temali has worked in Greece as a restorer and has regularly participated in the exhibitions in his hometown where he is also member of “Kolë Idromeno” artistic organization. The artist’s work speaks of the domination of money and drugs that has gripped the world and is leading to an inevitable end. In this work is clearly seen the money and the leaves of cannabis that surrounds the Earth, while the planet itself gives the impression of a sick face with empty eyes, like a skull.
