Ulisa Dekaj is a Canadian-Albanian artist, based in Toronto. She holds a BA from OCADU. Her work deals with matters of the psyche with an emphasis on human emotion. While looking within and listening to the stories of those around her she constructs emotional landscapes of joy, sadness, contentment, fear, gratitude and grief. Her aesthetic is drawn from idealized childhood memories. Vast, flat, sunny places, awe-inspiring mountains, white Mediterranean walls at noon and large flat rocks by rivers. Her subjects dwell in nostalgic landscapes that become the cradle of raw human emotion. Through these images she conjures the magic of being and shares it with the world.
