Pajtim Osmanaj (b. 1990, , Istog, Kosovo) attended the Art Academy of Kosovo. Utilizing a unique technique, first discovered at a construction job in Chelsea, Manhattan, Pajtim Osmanaj has been building otherworldly landscapes with paint, textured paper, canvas and glue, on a 2-dimensional field, as well working on a different scale sculptures. His work spans abstraction and representation; between demure black and white still lifes, and the playful chaos of colorfields that often read as mountain ranges. Osmanaj studies formal compositional relationships, as well as philosophical notions of yin and yang, across all bodies of work.
