Color Philosophy
Gani Gashi During working for the daily newspaper "Rilindja".jpg
Even when autumn colored the leaves, even when the wind blew wildly. In the studio of the painter G.G. there was no mirror. Only paintings painted on ice-white walls. I saw the painter G.G. tired and yellow in the face. I also looked at the paintings one by one. I read them in my own way as if they were books where each color speaks. I discovered a completely different world like I had never seen before. I also looked at them with my eyes closed. I rubbed my hands. Interestingly, I also listened to music + dialogue and color monologue. I asked myself, "Is it possible?" I heard a shrill voice: Yes. Yes. Colors also speak with pain. This is the art that says very little. Even the collage has a modern shape. Landscapes also have magical depth. A reversal of imitation is seen by being complemented by a new imagination. Both the water and the bound stone speak.

Each painting with the other has a multidimensional composition and universal semantic expression. Even in thin lines, even in thick lines, any painting of this artist can be read as a cosmic metaphor. And this is not a small thing. Sometimes the colors are lyrical, sometimes disturbing and with drama inside, sometimes cold. Even the strong blue color creates tension. Even white and black suggest poetic images. I said: He is a special artist. That is constantly tracking a NEW artistic LANGUAGE with a strong break of modern and universal expression. Gani Gashi is a painter of figure and metaphor. With an unusual color language it has created an aesthetic independence. A language that renews itself. He also has special poetic images. He constantly follows the adventures of modern art, insisting on bringing new semantic expressions as well as philosophical signals with an internal structure, strong vocation and poetic harmony.
With his works, this artist applies in today's art the variety of modern techniques, the special world, whether through geometric shapes or abstract expressions. It can be said with gratitude: he has gone so far as to say that his former teachers from the beginning had made an impact until the self-liberation of expression.
National mater in color
Through handling national matter Gani Gashi has considerably influenced hiscolors; however, his paintings are too intimate and in this case depend significantly by his sharp personal taste. It has an impact and lays out the way forintimacy and personalization in painting. The taste acts over colors, it incites theircoming forth, elaboration on the telaho, it inspires layers. Evidently the nationalmatter (i.e. all historical and cultural developments) is both intimate and social. Thesocial is the part that journeys throughout the painter's life, his generation and therest. The social theme according to the painter is even more difficult. "We wentthrough hard times," he says. But in any case, pictorial motives are very intimate. Inthis way the painter succeeds in becoming the lord of colors. Strangely, emotionsthat Gashi experiences represent the basic element that builds the painter and thenthe exhibition. It is not accidental that from one exhibition to another the artist changesthe entire previous stereotype of presentation. Details in a painting occupy morespace but less volume and as such they create movements or moving images. Foralmost two years does Gani Gashi prepare a new cycle of paintings. He comes outof the previous circle of color perception and creates a different exhibition which hereveals to the art-loving audience in Kosova, Albania or elsewhere. Gashi exploreshis colors and establishes a full relation with the time in which the work appears.The latest cycle comes to show us new ways of looking at the world and its presen-tation through burning panels. The painter Gashi succeeds in overcoming with hispictorial cycle the hindrances between the viewers and carries them in the emotionsof the painting. The painting gains in depth, it plays in a somewhat dual way withdetails presenting one show by the graphic layer on the connivance and the other ashow of purple of finely mixed colors.

It is well known that self-knowledge goes beyond meditation, but Sabrien can also be recognized through the composition of flowers, it was a new concept. She had a strong balance with nature and went one step further with the harmony that should have prevailed in all the elements of flower composition regarding the season and its surroundings, all these qualities she inherited from her children, who we can all say are artists.
