BARBANA BOJADZI

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

In her artistic practice, Barbana Bojadzi is particularly interested in the memory associated to gesture, the idea of imprint, and its relation to Time. Her artworks are characterized by the accumulation of layers, colors, and textures, thus creating a stratification of meanings and materials, where the image emerges by a mechanism of extraction. Barbana Bojadzi is always seeking new technical processes, highlighting used and reclaimed materials that reflect the humility and simplicity we find in her work.

Barbana Bojadzi recently won the Khalil de Chazournes Prize, awarded by the Amis des Beaux-Arts de Paris, as well as the 2023 the Sisley - Beaux-Arts de Paris Prize for Young Creation, and one of her works is now part of the Société Générale Art Collection. She was also part of many group shows, including "Société Générale Art Collection" at the Société Générale Tower, Puteaux (France) and "Felicità" at POUSH, Aubervilliers (France).
