UKAP Foundation Gala Auction

A rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished work of contemporary art.

We are delighted to present The Bride by Ilir Martini as a highlight of our Gala for a Brighter Future ’25 auction.

This striking portrait depicts a woman in a traditional ensemble of vivid red and white stripes, complemented by an ornate headdress. Martini’s confident brushwork and rich chromatic palette imbue the composition with both cultural resonance and modern expressiveness. Signed by the artist in 2025, this painting blends traditional themes with expressive artistic elements, creating a visually engaging piece.

Bidding will be conducted by email in advance of, and concluding on, the evening of Saturday, 29 November 2025, at the National Liberal Club, London.
