Edi Hila’s recent paintings stem from his observation of the everyday. They represent fragments of his imaginings of public spaces that he visits, photographs, and then further explores by means of painting. Contemplation of his observations leads him to the titles of his works. Titles like “A Moment to Remember” or “Reflections on the Exhibition” allude to the pensive mood in which the artist finds himself when transcending the realm of thought to render his musings on the pictorial surface. On a meta level, observed buildings (such as the Vienna Secession) along with their architectural structures become the protagonists of further reflection. Hila extends his faculties of imagination by focusing on details and on special objects that come into play when contemplating the respective situations before recreating them in his Tirana studio.
