Blerta Hashani (born in 1997) is an artist from Mirash, Kosovo. Graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Pristina in 2019. She practices painting, drawing and photography to explore the concepts of mysticism and symbolism. With the sensitivity of light, color, material, harmony and compositional simplicity in space, it reflects the routine and the natural environment around it, transmitting the inner impulses in an aesthetic and minimal form.
She participates in individual and group exhibitions, as well as in several residential programs in Kosovo and Europe. Some of her most recent exhibitions include: Known/Unknown Worlds (Kulturpunkt PROGR, Bern), A Story upon the Green (Mill of Nazif, Mirash), how would you know? (Paper Gallery, Prishtina), feel more (LA MAISON DE RENDEZ-VOUS, Brussels), Ambient (LambdaLambdaLambda, Prishtina), Tools for Conviviality (Am Schwarzenbergplatz, Vienna), Au hasard Balthazar (Friche la Belle de Mai, Marseille), It’s Not the Heat, It’s the Dust (GROVE, London), and New Grand (Manifesta 14, Pristina), etc. Blerta lives and works in Mirash and is represented by LambdaLambdaLambda Gallery.
Blerta is a beneficiary of the three-week residency program in Knislinge, in southern Sweden, a collaboration between Shtatëmbëdhjetë and the Milvus Artistic Research Center (MARC).
