Dan Voinea (b. 1970, Brasov) is an artist who lives and works in Craiova, Romania.
The dreamlike paintings of Romanian artist Dan Voinea exhibit the past and present in works
that are at times alienating, at times disorienting, and at times foreboding but always powerfully
rendered: the result is a body of work that is both ominous and nostalgic. Voinea blends tradi-
tional and contemporary practices in his emotional pieces—building scenes by staging live
models, taking pictures of various of their moves and interactions, then painting using an old
master's technique. At a first glance there is an eerie tone underpinning these works, yet longer
one’s gaze lingers on these ambiguous surfaces, mysterious depths and bold perspectives herald
a life-affirming uplift.
