Hasan Çapari, a realistic Albanian painter of the 20th–21st centuries, was born in Margëlliç, Çamëria. He completed his secondary studies in painting at the artistic high school “Jordan Misja” in Tirana and graduated in painting from the Institute of Fine Arts in 1964. Çapari began exhibiting his works as early as 1959 and participated in all national exhibitions. His oeuvre mainly includes genres of portraiture and landscape, where he is distinguished for a realistic approach with impressionistic tendencies. In his paintings, one can observe warm color palettes and delicate transitions of light and shadow relationships. The landscapes created by the artist Çapari exude a fluidity that creates the sensation of a sensitive painter. After 1990, he exhibited with the All-Albanian Association of Figurative Artists, as well as with the group “Nëntori” (“Noember”). (In the photo: Čapar’s work “Mountain”, 2009, oil on canvas.)
