Agron Bytyqi’s surrealist oils on canvas present imagined dreamscapes rich with a deeply personal visual symbolism. Bytyqi’s brilliantly hued paintings, rendered with an exacting, photographic clarity, express allegories of his own biographical and national histories. Powerfully evocative in their raw emotional content, vividly dreamlike color, and bizarre thematic components, each painting serves as an archive of Bytyqi’s complicated and traumatic experiences as a citizen of the once war-torn Eastern European nation, Kosovo. Although the content of his works is inextricably linked to the horrors he witnessed both as a soldier and as a civilian in his homeland, Bytyqi ultimately hopes that his profound love for art and commitment and sincerity for his craft will characterize it in the broader spectrum.
Having exhibited widely throughout Kosovo, Agron Bytyqi is a well respected artist and academic. Currently, Bytyqi works as a professor at the University of Art in Prishtina and holds a Masters of Fine Art.
