Agim Sulaj

By LatAm ARTE

Agim Sulaj was born in Tirana, the capital of Albania, in 1960, but spent his childhood and adolescence in the coastal city of Vlora. From a very young age, Agim experienced his passion and love for painting and art in general, and his talent was evident from an early age. In 1985 he completed his studies at the Tirana Academy of Arts and began to collaborate with “Hosteni”, a political and satirical magazine. This work exposed the young artist to the world of humor and satire, an important element in the formation of his own artistic works. At the same time, he developed a hyper-realistic style that stands out among his works. His caricatures focus on the main social and political problems of the 21st century, such as world poverty, environmental pollution, the life of an immigrant and other social issues.
