Kristaq Rama

Kristaq Rama (31 July 1932 – 11 April 1998)[1] was an Albanian sculptor, art educator and a member of the Communist Party in Albania under Enver Hoxha's rule.

After graduation, he returned to Albania, where he worked in Tirana, primarily as superintendent of fine arts at the Albanian Ministry of Culture, and at the same time taught as an external lecturer at the Higher Institute of Arts of Tirana.

As a sculptor, Rama created several busts of warriors, people portraits, female sculptures, as well as other decorations.

In August 1988, Rama signed – along with Ramiz Alia and others[3][4] – documents for the death penalty of poet Havzi Nela by hanging.

[5][6][7][8][9] Other documents show that Rama signed for the death penalty for Enver Osmani, a 29-year-old from Dibra.
