In a bold departure from his long-standing exploration of post-socialist urban landscapes and abstract architectural forms, Genti Korini turns inward-toward the human figure, psychological space, and emotional dissonance. This new body of work marks a striking shift in tone and method, moving from structural analysis to existential portraiture, where the figures themselves become the architecture of meaning.
Each composition presents a constellation of figures-elongated, stylized, and haunting-poised within atmospheric voids. These are not portraits in the traditional sense; they are psychological constructs, suspended in ambiguous relationships with one another and with the viewer. Korini’s earlier geometric discipline remains, but now it recedes beneath layers of expressive gesture, saturated color, and emotive tension.
Genti Korini’s artistic world draws from a diverse range of influences, including architectural forms, literature, and film.
Thinking in paint and through painting, Korini has developed an intuitive and fluid approach that transforms these impressions through his practice. The figures, structures, and situations he depicts appear both open-ended and precisely observed, as if emerging from a fully formed narrative of which viewers can only catch a glimpse.
His works distill narratives into images full of mystery and ambiguity, the exact nature of which remains elusive.
Genti Korini studied in Albania and Romania. He lives and works in Tirana, Albania.
