“Viva la Vita”, the exhibition of the artist Amantia Rrokaj has been one of the most interesting artistic feeds of this season in Gjirokastra. The artist has been living in Greece for 22 years and is in a daily battle with Parkinson’s disease.
She defines her art as created by pain as she experienced the first effects of the disease at a very young age and is facing the deterioration of her condition every day while doing art.
Amantia has created about 400 works with recyclable materials and each work has a story. They are objects that are living through art a second life. Within the works dominates the portrait of Frida Kahlo, and the decoration of her image with pieces from the lives of others, jewelry, clothing, temina, pieces of curtains or lace.
Often non-durable materials such as dried food become part of her art because Amantia creates for the moment and her work invites to live the moment. Nothing according to her is eternal and yet things do not reflect sadness. They are dreamy and colorful. They have real brilliance and dynamism. It is a world full of oscillations with powerful emotions, amid the pain of the characters being transformed. What the works have in common is that they communicate, blurring the line between the real and the surreal as an Amantia find to tell the world through art.
