Ramushi uses natural elements and colors symbolically throughout her work with the intent to connect the viewer with the world around us, reminding us that "paradise can easily be found under our feet."
ALL EYES ON US
SHKURTE RAMUSHI
APRIL 10 - APRIL 28, 2023
"My main inspirations are nature, society, and the human soul. Throughout my life experiences, art has always fulfilled me. It was precisely art and my special connection with it through which I gained freedom and independence. Also, in the days of quarantine and isolation, it was once again art that helped me find freedom and creativity."

"Quarantine had a power through which we were pushed to remind ourselves the importance of our existence and humanism. Creating, and also creating together with my daughter, for me is the only thing that remains constant. It gives me security and connects me to my inner self and the world. These are just parts of my world, of nature, that I see every day on earth, which is my happiness in earthly paradise."

"In art, each one of us are able to have our own kingdom, and my kingdom in art is called the "Kingdom of Mushrooms". It's titled the Kingdom of Mushrooms because the mushroom is a magnificent plant. An imaginary landscape of mushrooms, trees, stones and symbolic colors of an afterlife, even microscopic, create the kingdom. Different types of mushrooms providing healing, nourishment, or poison can easily personify human characters. Also, nature is a kingdom."

"In my paintings, the stones represent sustainability, trees represent life, mushrooms represent humanity and cacti represents survival. These are the main symbols that remind us that in addition to heaven, paradise can easily be found under our feet, on earth. My paintings come as an artistic call to try with all our being to preserve and protect the nature of our planet."
