They exist, places and moments of happiness and contentment. Places where life is in harmony with the world and reality. Places where the individual also experiences community, love, trust and mutual affection. These are places and moments of longing.
Such moments are sought, hoped for and aspired to, also because reality is usually more contradictory and much more torn apart and characterised by conflicting forces and conflicts.
Brilant Milazimi, who was born in 1994 in Gjilan in today's Republic of Kosovo, has sketched such a place, as a memory or as a vision, in his painting 'Is this the Island of Happiness'.
Many of his paintings create scenarios that reflect physical and mental states and also convey uncertainty about the status of the small republic of his homeland Kosovo.
