Robert Aliaj
- Actor
Robert Aliaj Dragot, not only began as a painter, but his painting was
also the point of departure for all the other activities he manifested.
In the end of 90's, after a long career as a pop star singer, Robert
Aliaj DRAGOT nearly stopped with music to come back to his first
concern as an art painter. Dragot's work is figurative and makes
extensive use of techniques from photography, television and film.
Subjects of his paintings range usually from politics in Albania, to
the very banal. For a while he abandoned painting completely to make
shorts and video's. Now many years later in Brussels, he is focused
especially to a multi-medial research, experimenting with photography,
moving images, animations, sounds and painting itself, without loosing
the picturesque quality. His attention divides himself between a
critical curiosity of the artistic scene in Europe and a renewed
interest for the fast shock therapeutic change, which the Albanian
state underwent.
