Petrit Markaj (XXI) - David Bowie

Original artwork by Petrit Markaj, a contemporary Franco-Kosovar artist known for his expressive exploration of the human condition. This striking composition presents a powerful monochrome David Bowie portrait enriched with vibrant turquoise and yellow graphic elements. The work integrates multilingual text (Japanese and French), symbolic figures, and recurring question marks, creating a layered visual narrative around identity, belief, and introspection. The central gesture of silence (Shh) gives the piece a strong emotional presence, while the fusion of figurative portraiture with urban and pop-art influences reflects Markaj’s diverse artistic language. Unlike his classical oil paintings, this work belongs to a more contemporary, street-art influenced approach, combining raw expression with graphic symbolism. • Artist: Petrit Markaj, born 1973 • Title: Untitled • Medium: Mixed media (acrylic, paint markers) on canvas • Signature: Hand-signed (right side) • Condition: Excellent condition • Dimensions: 120 cm x 120 cm x 2 cm A unique original artwork, ideal for collectors of contemporary and urban art, and a bold statement piece for modern interiors. About the artist: Born in 1973 and of Albanian origin, Petrit Markaj honed his skills early on in drawing competitions, before joining the ranks of the Mulhouse School of Fine Arts. His creation, driven by both deliberate and intuitive inspirations, and nourished by his many travels, is defined by the diversity of subjects he explores, techniques and materials he uses, moving from abstract art to Pop Art, from political messages to pure iconographic research, from metal sculpture to oil or industrial painting.
