THE WORLDWIDE FAMOUS PAINTERS

Painting studies in Skopje
•Initially he wanted to study the Albanian language and literature, but the circumstances created influenced him to
record the fine arts. In September 1954/55, he submitted the documents for registration in the Albanian language
branch at the Higher Pedagogical School in Skopje.. Since only two candidates were presented in this branch and it
was impossible to form a group, Kastrati does not have the desire to register in this direction. But, upon learning by
chance that there were vacancies only in the branch of fine arts, then the painter undergoes and successfully passes
the entrance exam and thus becomes a student of fine arts. With his introduction to the Higher Pedagogical School
in Skopje, Adem Kastrati, for the first time will learn what were the drawing techniques, how to color, or how to
model a sculpture. Kastrati was lucky enough to receive lessons from drawing, painting and modeling, and art
history from his professors, also well-known Macedonian artists, such as: Vangell Koxhoman, Ljupco Stefanovski
and Dimce Koco, during his studies at the Pedagogical Academy. Of all the subjects, the most difficult for Kastrati
has been the subject of art history, especially the period of ancient art and medieval art. Over time, the more he
entered the world of fine arts, the more he became interested in perfecting himself professionally, so he did not lack
ambitions, nor the direct efforts undertaken in the direction of further education.
