The Angel Arberesh, 2023
Acrylic on Canvas
60 x 80 cm

A timeless woman stands in blue and gold light, a silent icon of the Italian Arbëreshë tradition. Her faceless calm holds the memory of generations who carried language, faith, and ancestral rituals. The red, white, and gold of her garment speak of exile, devotion, and fidelity to origins. Around her, floral motifs whisper an ancient prayer of a people enduring through time without losing themselves.
