Where Art and Words Unite
About Me
The Artist's Tale
R. C. Anaider
Welcome to my world! I am an abstract artist, photographer, writer and poet and I would like to share with you my artistic journey and vision!
I discovered and began in very young age my journey as a poet and later as a writer. I started painting and photographing when I moved to live in Geneva, as a manifestation of the expression of my inner world in a period of rediscovering myself in a new country and society.
My main inspiration is love, love for life, love for humanity, love for the beauty and love for enlightenment.
I am always looking for light in my artworks, literature and photography and I love to challenge myself capturing light from a multi-dimensional perspective!
This is why as an artist I am in a continous search of light and love… which I think it can be found everywhere, sometimes even hidden in the deepest corners of black!
Driven by the magic power of love, light and beauty, and listening to my intuition and to my heart, through my artworks, I try to create a special connection with my consciousness and subconsciousness, with my inner and outer world.
I practice action painting. I spill out my feelings, thoughts and emotions, by applying, pouring, splashing and dripping many layers of thick paint directly in canvas.
In addition to classical works mainly with acrylic paint on canvas, I also use mixed media, such as spray paint, plaster, paper, textile and various objects, creating abstract and symbolic collages on canvas.
Every painting is a piece of me, is a capture of my deeper self, is a unique moment engraved in eternity.
Every painting is like a poetry, even like a novel with thousands of words, written in the international language of colors, shapes and textures, which can be read and understood without translation, by everyone, however, can be interpreted in so many individual and subjective ways.
Photography
As an artist, I am very passionate about light. I am always looking for light in my artworks, literature and photography.
And photography is all about capturing light from a multi-dimensional perspective!
I love shooting portraits for individuals and families. I would be happy to enhance and immortalize your emotions and your precious moments during your important life events such as: pregnancy, birth, baptism, marriage etc.
My objective as an artist and photographer is to emphasize the uniqueness in a creative way.
I discovered and began my journey as a poet in very young age.
When I was 15 years old, I published my first poetic volume, entitled “I don’t play with my sea” (“Nuk luaj me detin tim” in original Albanian language).
In 2020, during a period of isolation due to the Corona virus pandemic I wrote her my first Novel entitled “Caves” (“Shpellat” in original Albanian language”), which was published by Mediaprint Publishing House in 2022.
When still a manuscript, It was selected in 2020 among 10 best literature books by a professional Jury for the competition “The Book of the Pandemic”, a literature competition organized by The Albanian Center of Literature.
“I do not belong to you.
I do not belong to myself.
I am part of the air,
of water,
of heaven,
and of the stars still unenlightened.
I am the nirvana
scattered in the clouds of love.
I’m a happy spark
in the smile of a moment.
I’m the spring snow of cotton,
the golden rain of autumn.
I am the glaring sun
in the whiteness of winter.
I am the walking sand
On the nude summer beach.
I survive by living
the nonsense of dilemmas.
I resurrect with the collision
of sleepless and dreaming eyelids ….
