Renato Calaj (1992) lives and works between Milan and Düsseldorf. His research stems from the spray can and the three different spaces on which it finds expression: the wall, the canvas and the site-specific. Conceptual and minimal. The typical techniques of graffiti art are deliberately zeroed out. Space, border, limit and time are the keywords of his art. He attended the Decio Celeri Art School in Lovere (BG) and graduated with honours in 2013. In 2014, he began an experience abroad in Berlin and Tirana. He has been interested in the practice of painting since the beginning of his activity. He starts an important study activity with Italian and foreign artists, on many aspects of contemporary art and the materials themselves. He combines street art in a resized space, but at the same time without boundaries. Calaj's work investigates the concept of time and its relationship to transformation and destruction. Through the use of scaffolding as a medium, Calaj creates large-scale installations that interact with the environment and engage the viewer in a meaningful way. 
In his works, the representation of the rough and irregular texture of walls and streets could be interpreted as a metaphor for the transience of existence and the way time leaves its mark on everything it touches. In this sense, Calaj's work could be read as a reflection on the transience of life and the ephemeral nature of human experience. Together, these elements create a work of art that invites deep reflection on philosophical themes such as time, transformation and impermanence.
