Rron Qena / The roads that know me

Rron Qena always remains close to his artistic philosophy; his work informing his personal life. In this exchange, he perfected his original style of figurative expression in painting. His creative act within the frame of the canvas, through bold personal narrative, aims to address the depths of experience, as an occurrence, as a memory, as an invitation to interpersonal communication. His pursuit of beauty remains his muse, a model to which he is always looking. 

Capturing lively moments of neighborhood views, city corners, portraits dedicated to loved ones,  dynamic observations are made of the inspiring potential in the surrounding environment, finding the spark of magic in the everyday. His work is an eloquent reflection of the motifs and elements that makeup the urban landscape, or even the psychology of the subjects in his portraits. This careful cultivation of a meaningful relationship with space and time strengthens his creative intuition wherever and whenever he is present. His study of the deep language of colors, evolves into a particular painting style that has come to constitute the visual syntax characteristic of his work.

The streets of Prishtina, Berlin, Shkodra, Bremen, shade by shade are laid out in his paintings that lead the viewer into a geography that does not draw upon borders, but draws upon the power of imagination and the painter`s rich world. In these neighborhoods and metropolitan crossroads, the free spirit of man takes precedence, a man who is barely visible in the city's winding labyrinth among the cars and industry, yet somewhere behind the facades, or in the shadows of the parks, we know he continues to write his destiny, to insist on his singular imagination amongst the chaos. Rron's painting gives the human spirit a bohemian quality, one goes in the evenings to hang out with friends, to wander drunk through a rhythmic percussiveness, roads and places where names are not so important.
