Works
Biography
Originally from Kosovo, Agnesa Dellova  (b. 1994, CH) is a Swiss artist who lives in Lausanne. She holds a BA in Visual Arts from ECAL, Lausanne and an MA from HEAD in Geneva. Active across a variety of media, including painting, photography, and video, she has turned nearly exclusively to painting in more recent years, developing a new pictorial technique known as "frottage".  
 
Photography and video serve as research tools for her paintings, in which she captures the fragility and strangeness of human faces. Among her artistic references, she cites Miriam Cahn and Andrea Büttner, as well as Albanian artists such as Anri Sala, Kolë Idromeno, and the Marubi dynasty. Her work encompasses themes of the figure and its memory, the body and its gestures, and otherrness. Drawing on specific artistic references, she critically examines inherited narratives, where questions of death, ritual, suffering, and generational transmission continuously resurface. 
 
Her work has been presented in several group and solo exhibitions, notably at the National Gallery of Kosovo in Pristina, Jungkunst in Winterthur, and CACY in Yverdon-les-Bains. She was awarded the Kiefer Hablitzel Prize in 2022 and the Alice Bailly Grant in 2023.
