"Generally, i build my paintings like theatrical scenes, but they have no intention in telling any specific story. Media and everyday situations provoke my inspiration.They generally speak about actual phenomena that happen in my country, but not only. The paintings are a mix between dramatic and ephemeral moments, metaphor and irony. Irony permeates them, while I try to construct manifold and multilayered situations. The paintings thus, become scenes where the characters face each other unexpectedly." Enkelejd Zonja

Dilemas

"Ne pergjithsi e ndertoj punen time ne formen e skene teatrale ,por qe skan si qellim te tregoje nje histori te vecante. Media apo situata qe provokohen nga e perditshmja behen baze ispiruse. Ato flasin ne pergjithesi per fenomene aktuale qe ndodhin ne vendin tim, por jo vetem. Punimet jane nje perzierje mes momenteve dramatike dhe te perditeshme, metaforash dhe ironish. Une perpiqem te ndertoj gjendje me shume kuptime dhe shtresa, te veshura me mister. Pikturat kthehen keshtu ne skena ku persoazhet ballafaqohen me njeri tjetrin ne menyre krejt te papritur." Enkelejd Zonja
