Nicolae Romaniţan (b.1991) is an interdisciplinary artist who explores different realities like video games, odd

animated/movie series, magazines, medieval manuscripts and other abandoned media, to search for the

correspondence to recent history events, or to simply bring out to the material world iconic symbols and other

found artifacts. He is also in a continuously search for art history connections with other realities.

He succeeds to reveal deep meanings, at points he concentrates on darker aspects of life like alienation, posthumanity,

sex, grief, violence, absurdity of war, everything made in deep existentialist mode mixed with a fine

taste of humor. In his day-to-day practice he paints and draws, but in the last period he approached digital art

also.

His main interest in the last period was to develop and depict “after life” themes and to focus on the demon

slayer’s motif and different ways to see life and death, in various techniques, mostly in oil painting on different

materials
