[3] Among his important works are a series of paintings where he tried to depict the social aspects of everyday life, customs and religion exactly as it appears.

In Corfu he compiled and published the history of Parga and Souli, and also helped Grigor Gjirokastriti in translating the Gospel and the New Testament into the Albanian language with the Greek alphabet.

His father, Arsen Idromeno, in 1856 moved to Shkodër, where he practiced his trade as a carpenter and joiner, as well as a self-taught designer and implementer of private constructions in the city, such as the houses of the Lukaj family in Arra Madhe, Rokacollve in Serreq, the building of the Red Cross , the Illyricum lyceum and own house in Gjujadol.

There, he engaged himself in a number of different activities, working as in the fields of architecture, sculpture, photography, painting, composing, scenic design and engineering.

Kolë Idromeno is considered as the founder of Realism in the country and the most important painter of the Albanian Renaissance, which started in the 19th century.

Afterwards, he painted probably the first Albanian secular and realistic pictures with illustrating historical events and everyday motifs such as festivals and costumes such as "Dasma Shkodrane".

This painting was framed as the centerpiece of the book "51 Albanian Painters" (51 Piktorë Shqiptarë) based on the art collection of the Shehaj family.
