Daniel Balanescu

I am a Romanian artist who works with various media and techniques, such as painting, collage, printmaking, installation and performance. I studied textile design at the National University of Arts Bucharest.
Most of my works are inspired by the turmoil of our times . I explore themes such as identity, social issues, politics and spirituality. I often use symbols, metaphors and irony to express my views and emotions. I also experiment with different materials and textures, such as subway or train tickets, fabric, threads, wax and mixed media.
