Painting in Albania is a natural symbiosis of the present with the past, it is a powerful research, driven by the sensory interior of its society where its artists, even at a young age, turn stimulating impulses into images, which still in most cases are figures of the languages of modern painting.
Roland Runaj is one of those artists who stands out for an active process in painting developed at the beginning of the 21st century. It is composed of many images, seemingly detached from each other. But their imaginative wholeness becomes clear to the public, as through the elements of the painting it reveals the expressive stimuli, which the artist receives from the facts and subjects of our past. The painter Runaj is not indifferent to that, he even seems to want to bring that back and make it present for many reasons, which are related to the individual who tends to grow even more aware. It tends to connect with our developing society, which it describes as forgetfulness and memory of the collectivism and the communist leader, as well as the deep social problems of existence within the world of crime, violence, racism, Machiavellian unit, sex, war, underestimation of arrogance.
