About The Artist

The work of Dastid Miluka, interplay between his childhood dreams and a grown-up discovery, this collection explores the visions that started at a tender age and still inspires him today. In his creations, Dastid plays with characters that evolve through a hide and seek game of reality and fantasies. A parade of contrasting worlds, lush colors, light and motion, these paintings explore a theater of people and imaginative places that coexist in harmony. This is the world reflected through Dastid’s own dream spectrum, and fantasies. Dastid Miluka was born on September 15, 1974 in Tirana, Albania.
