Leunora Salihu

The third exhibition in the exhibition program Patio de la Galería Pelaires consists of an installation of four large-format ceramic sculptures by Serbian artist Leunora Salihu.

Leunora Salihu (Pristina, Kosovo, 1977) is a sculptor whose work explores the intersections between form, space, and materiality. She studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Pristina before fleeing to Germany in 1999, where she continued her studies at the Muthesius Kunsthochschule in Kiel and later at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, graduating in 2009 in the class of Tony Cragg.

Her artistic practice focuses on the investigation of materials, combining ceramics, wood, and metal to create sculptural compositions that challenge conventional relationships between movement and stability, volume and void, function and abstraction.

She has received numerous awards, including the Lothar Fischer Prize (2017), and was also nominated for the Böttcherstraße Prize in Bremen (2022).
