Alfred Mirashi Milot Biography
Alfred Mirashi Milot (1969 - ) is an artist of Albanian origin, born in 1969, who left Durazzo in 1991, on board a ship with over 5000 people, bound for Italy. Milot's artistic research moves across different languages ranging from painting to sculpture to large installations, allowing different cultural suggestions to coexist in perfect balance. From Brindisi, where he disembarks, he goes to Naples and subsequently to Cervinara, a town in the province of Avellino. Then Florence (where he still lives) and Milan, where he attended the Brera Academy. With a scholarship he left for England, to study near Nottingham. Immediately afterwards he lived in New York for a few years but, after winning a painting prize at Brera, he returned to Italy. At thirty, an exhibition was dedicated to him at the Maschio Angioino in Naples and his career began from there. Among Milot's most prestigious awards we can also include the gold medal in painting at the "Barbican Center" museum in London and participation in the Beijing Biennial in 2015. Milot's sculptures do not close borders but invite dialogue, open-mindedness, are symbols of human solutions to the sometimes unjust and too rigid reactions of some too narrow-minded people who are unable to see due to anger.
