About

Aferdita Fazliu-Drozd is visual mixed media artist based in Bromley, Kent. Aferdita loves creating textured paintings that transcend the traditional boundaries of canvas and paint. Her work is a unique fusion of various materials, including plaster, fabric, clay and Powertex, resulting in sculptural pieces that find their home on the walls of collectors.

Aferdita's paintings are for those who love texture, colour and nature inspired art.  Her pieces are full of brush marks, texture, colour and emotions. They depict her love for nature, especially flowers and the sea and are full of memories of places visited with people who have touched her heart. 

Aferdita says that "My pieces invite you to to engage with them on a instinctive level, allowing it to speak to your own emotional core, evoking feelings, memories, and sensations that resonate within you."

Through the tactile nature of her textured paintings, Aferdita hopes to provoke a sensory experience that goes beyond the visual. The interplay of materials and textures invites you to not only see but also touch, inviting a multi-dimensional engagement with the art. Aferdita often writes poetry related to her art, to express her feelings further. 

In 2017 Aferdita left her HR Manager role  and started Little Painter Art Classes for Children”, which she  runs from her own studio in Hayes.

Aferdita strongly believes that art should take a more important part in children's education. She is very passionate about sharing her knowledge both with adults and children through her art classes for children and the mixed media workshops for adults. 

Aferdita is a member of the Bromley Art Society, Croydon Art Society and West Wickham Art Association.
