Albanian photographer Adrian Limani it is possible to create small masterpieces from the simplest components. A simple photomontage allows him to place anything - from the Eiffel Tower to a couple in love - inside an electric light bulb; the result is magical.

By his own admission, Limani is "crazy about photography"; he travels and tries to photograph everything that is interesting that catches his eye. Sometimes there is a desire to turn a banal photograph into a "work of fine art". Then Photoshop comes to the rescue, and another tree or ship "in a light bulb" is born.

"For me photography is a contemplative art, it requires the talent of an observer. It is extremely important to be able to discern the amazing in the ordinary," says Limani. His surrealist technique for distorting reality fully corresponds to the concept of "it is not what you see that matters, but how you see it."

The "Lamp" series is not the only popular photocycle in the portfolio of Adrian Limani. The photographs in which the models chosen by Limani himself play with the moon like a basketball, or are simply blissful in nature, are also very popular. As in the case of light bulbs, Limani makes a very small shift in reality, and it becomes fantastic. You can call it a kind of magical realism.

Albania is clearly insufficiently represented on the map of contemporary art. The most famous contemporary Albanian artist, who is already well known to the readers of Kulturologia.ru, is Saimir Strati, the creator of paintings from coffee beans and screws, as well as the most original mosaics … We can only hope that following Strati and Adrian Limani, other Albanian talents will loudly declare themselves.
