Durmish Kjazim's artistic practice is concerned with questions of identity conveyed through intimate surrealist drawings and paintings that portray Roma people through their daily personal struggles.
Durmish Kjazim (1983, Macedonia) graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Skopje. Since 2011, he lives in Belgium, Brussels. Inspired by the Roma community and tradition, through pictorial realism imbued with symbolism, he treats the stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination of the Roma culture.
