Kaltra Seferi
Kaltra Seferi is an Albanian born, Chicago based multidisciplinary artist. While living in Albania and Rome, Kaltra's early introductions to the cultures and environments she encountered inspired her passion for artistic crafsmanship. Over the last 22 years, Kaltra has focused on developing her own personal techniques amongst several mediums. Kaltra received her Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2019. During her studies she started to design her own cityscapes using photography, painting, drawings, and 3D digital models. After graduation, Kaltra explored the art of space through the interior/exterior lens as an interior designer and an aluminum rainscreen facade designer.
The artist has been working on her series "Dreamland" for the past decade. She took her maladaptive daydreams from architecture school and turned them into artwork of cityscapes, landscapes, and dreamscapes. She drafted new cities and built new worlds on paper. The artist explores the relationship and juxtaposition between the built environment and the earth's environment. The scale of the work ranges from the scale of a city to the scale of a broken window.
