“Days of Mio” brought together for three consecutive days (October 25-28) the international colony of painters in the city of Korça.

The 13th edition of the international visual arts colony was held at the House Museum of painter Vangjush Mio.

About 50 painters from 15 countries of the world settled in different areas, putting on the canvas beautiful Korça landscapes and inspired by the unique style of the “People’s Artist, Vangjush Mio” who is considered the “father” of the Albanian landscape.

Mio was the painter who made the transition of Albanian painting to the modern concept, while his creativity, described as “Poet of Nature” for realistic landscapes and portraits, has inspired and become a model for all painters.

Jeff Roland from France has found his inspiration in the buildings and life of the city of Korça.

The painter Genc Bekteshi from Suhareka, who participated in the international colony of figurative arts “Days of Mio”, was inspired by the “Resurrection of Christ” Cathedral, putting elements of classical architecture and its colors on the canvas.

After the participants who came to Korça for the first time, appreciated the fantastic nature and hospitality in the city of Korça.

“The two sides of the cathedral are the king and the queen, they love each other and there is nothing that separates them,” said the painter from Greece, Niko Tamoutselis.

The painters created two paintings, one of which was donated to the art gallery of Korça.
