Bio & Curriculum Vitæ

Bio

Shpresa Faqi is a contemporary European artist. Her works are an expression of her documentary approach, which explores how the inside affects the outside and vice versa. (...)
Her repertoire ranges from drawings to medium and large-format murals, processed found objects and industrial products to site-specific projector installations. She creates individual works as well as linked installations, mobile art projects and interactive workshops. The materials she uses are varied, including ink, acrylic, oil, varnish, paper, canvas and electronic media. (...) S. G. Meyer
