4th International Cartoon Biennale “Niko Nikolla”/Albania 2026

 

Theme:

-ANGEL OR DEVIL?

An ancient question — as old as humanity itself. Yet more relevant than ever

In every choice, in every system, in every public figure — there is a duality. A constant tension between what appears to be and what truly is

This theme does not seek definitive answers. It seeks perspective. It calls for the courage to look beyond the surface — to reveal irony, contradiction, and hidden truth.

 

-BUJAR KAPEXHIU — A FIGURE, AN ERA

There are artists who create works. And there are artists who create spirit

Bujar Kapexhiu is one of them

Director. Actor. Screenwriter. Caricaturist. Satirical poet. The creator of the first animated film in Albania

An artist who did not conform — but stood firm. Who did not bend — but created

Persecuted by a regime that rejected individuality, he remained free in thought and in art

And it is precisely this freedom that made him beloved by the public and a lasting reference for generations

This portrait is not a technical exercise. It is an interpretation

An attempt to capture not only the face — but the character. Not only the figure — but the spirit
