Barbana
Bojadzi
Born in 1996, Barbana Bojadzi is an artist originally from Kosovo who currently lives and works in Provins, France. She graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2021, with honors from the jury. At Beaux-Arts, she was mentored by Dominique Gauthier, Nina Childress, and Dominique Figarella.
In her artistic practice, Barbana Bojadzi is particularly interested in the memory associated with gesture, the idea of traces, and their relationship with Time. Her artworks are characterized by the accumulation of layers, colors, and textures, thereby creating a stratification of meanings and materials, where the image emerges through a mechanism of extraction. Barbana Bojadzi is always exploring new technical processes, highlighting used and reclaimed materials that reflect the humility and simplicity found in her work.
Barbana Bojadzi recently won the Khalil de Chazournes Prize, awarded by the Amis des Beaux-Arts de Paris, as well as the Sisley - Beaux-Arts de Paris Prize for Young Creation 2023, and one of her works is now part of the Société Générale Art Collection. She has also participated in numerous group exhibitions, including "Société Générale Art Collection" at the Société Générale Tower, Puteaux (France) and "Felicità" at POUSH, Aubervilliers (France).
