Skender Hyseni

The art of Skender Hyseni seems the oldest in the world as it is tormented by the questions of time. The notches, the scratches are stigmas that testify the founding gesture of man on the raw and imperfect material. By the action of his hand, his fingers, his entire body, he breathes spirit into matter which streches and wraps around itself forming in its lair, places hidden from the light of where a fascinating mystery emanates. The sculptor willingly integrates his work into the space that involves both light and its opposite, when the shadow is as solid as the projected object. As he dialogues with the most modest of substances: earth,this humble texture is transfigured by the poetry of the artist into a minimalist sculptural form, both rustic but so refined at the same time that it becomes sumptuous. Lucid and determined is the look of Skender Hyseni when he asserts with conviction that "things are simpler that people think".
