Born in 1964, Albanian artist Josef Kote began his journey towards artistic self-discovery in his youth. Certainly, one thing holds for all of Kote’s paintings: they capture shimmering moments in time and space. Subsequently light, energy, and love fill each subject he chooses to portray. Furthermore, with the lightness of a true master’s hand, he blends classic academic and abstract elements, fusing these and letting them run into each other with riveting colors and light.

Constantly challenging himself, his talents rest not only in his choice of subject matter – the landscapes and people that continually inspire him – but in his own inventive technique and style, a combination of classical training and modern-day attitudes. Lastly, artist lives and works in Connecticut.
