Technical precision, poetic lightness and the transformation of light, landscape and architecture into vibrant spaces of reflection: the internationally renowned sculptor Helidon Xhixha (*1970 in Durrës, Albania) creates a dynamic interplay of perception, light and emotion with his monumental sculptures.
His works are made of polished, reflective stainless steel whose surfaces absorb, distort and reflect the surroundings in ever-changing perspectives. In this way, the viewer, space and nature become part of the artwork. With great skill, Xhixha shapes and directs the light so that - depending on the point of view and incidence of light - a continuous play of iridescent reflections unfolds. The light itself becomes an active element in his sculptures. Through the innovative use of the material, Xhixha develops an artistic concept based on the constant questioning of our perception of reality.
Helidon Xhixha is one of the outstanding representatives of monumental sculpture.
