Iva Lulashi

Iva Lulashi is an Albanian artist who has lived in Italy since 1990, where she drew a great deal from a young age but, once she reached adolescence, enrolled in an accounting program—where, rather than doing math, she spent her time sketching her professors. One of them, recognizing her talent, began lending her art books that piqued her curiosity and led her, after graduating from high school, to the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice to study painting under Carlo Di Raco. There, she began the journey common to many young artists. She represented her country at the 2024 Biennale.
