The Prisoner Painter

Ylli Pepo

Maks Velo, one of the best known Albanian painters, had several exhibitions in major European cities (Paris, Milan, Athens...). He spent twenty years of his life in a communist prison and most of his works were made inside the prison walls. It is a story about human fight for survival, a testimony about the past times which tells us a lot about the future, too.
