One of the important contemporary Albanian artists and one of the landscapers of nature, among the most popular in Albania. He was born in Tirana, in 1950. Arapi studied graphics at the Higher Institute of Arts in Tirana and was for many years a restorer and researcher of medieval art works at the Institute of Cultural Monuments in Tirana (1978-2007 ). The artist&#8217;s creativity is quite wide and he creates interesting cycles in painting, such as: the cycle of mythology, ballads, legends, throne and power, statues, etc. Subjects, such as love, betrayal, intrigue, power, battle, bride, death, etc., often serve as inspiration for the artist in the creation of paintings that reveal to the public mastery, magic, drama, beauty and monumentality. His work is felt to be influenced by European traditional and contemporary painting<i>. <\/i>He passed away in 2021. <i>(In the photo: Mustafa Arapi)<\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Text:<\/strong> Ylli Drishti, <i>100 years of Tirana in painting; 1920\u20132020 <\/i>, &#8220;Mediaprint&#8221;, Tirana, 2020, page 144.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photo: <\/strong>\u00a9 https:\/\/www.botasot.info\/kultura\/1490036\/mustafa-arapi-iku-nga-kjo-bote-per-tu-perjetesuar-ne-art\/<\/p>\n<p><strong>Graphic processing: <\/strong>AHCF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mustafa Arapi, an Albanian painter, graphic artist, researcher, and restorer of medieval art, passed away in Tirana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2644,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-vdekje"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
