BARBANA BOJADZI

Born in 1996, Barbana Bojadzi is an artist originally from Kosovo who currently lives and works in Provins, France. She graduated with honors from the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2021. During her studies, she was mentored by Dominique Gauthier, Nina Childress, and Dominique Figarella.

In her artistic practice, Barbana Bojadzi is particularly interested in the memory associated with gesture, the notion of imprint, and its relationship to time. Her artworks are characterized by the accumulation of layers, colors, and textures, creating a stratification of meanings and materials in which the image emerges through a process of extraction. She continually explores new technical processes, often emphasizing used and reclaimed materials that reflect the humility and simplicity central to her work.

Barbana Bojadzi has received several awards, including the Khalil de Chazournes Prize, awarded by the Amis des Beaux-Arts de Paris, and the 2023 Sisley – Beaux-Arts de Paris Prize for Young Creation. Following the prize, one of her works has entered the Société Générale Art Collection.
Her work has been presented in solo exhibitions such as "Ordered Fields" at Galleria Continua, Paris, and "Monades" at Galleria Continua, San Gimignano. She has also participated in group exhibitions, including Société Générale Art Collection at the Société Générale Tower, Puteaux; Felicità at POUSH, Aubervilliers; and a three-person exhibition with artists Jake Grewal and Cole Lu at Bortolamy Gallery, New York City.
