I’m a self-taught action painter with a mental illness. I studied Willem de Kooning and other abstract expressionists. Spirituality, emotion and colour are essential to my work.  I studied drawing at Langara College. At the Art Studios, I was trained in pastels, watercolour, drawing, and acrylics. Since 2008, I”ve taught myself oil painting techniques and experimented with tools and various mediums.

My passions are music and art. also played acoustic guitar, electric guitar and bass for most of my life.  You can find my comedy on Youtube under Ilir Xhediku.
