Motives

Motives represent visual forms of thematic content. He has painted most of the motifs

according to the models of traditional figurative iconography, starting from the landscape,

interior, portrait, self-portrait, act, quiet nature, animalism, architecture, caricature, etc. Adem

Kastrati's works are dominated by family motives, which he incorporates with a rare

sensitivity in the presentation of the village, the land, animals and especially the mother's care

for children. Through indigenous motifs related to the village and the birthplace he revealed

moments filled with existential issues. In particular he treats the "peasant", this being

according to him "direct", which gives meaning to life and which for the painter was always

the same: as when he moves, as when he works, as when he sings lullabies for her child in the

cradle. The women in his motifs have characteristic features with big eyes and full of story and

dreams inside them, which for the painter were mirrors of the soul. Meanwhile, men look

heavy, because, according to the painter, this is their tradition. They are heavy both when

walking, and when they sit cross-legged, and when they work, and when they dance at

weddings, which for the painter were their physical beauty.
