Daniel Tudor

I was born in a city smaller than the point of gravity near Bucharest, Romania, without great prospects for progression. The first 7 years of my life were affected by communism. I would meet faces, but I couldn’t see the people behind them. The simplicity and taste for beauty came naturally. Apart from old cars and dust, I had nothing else to choose from.
I didn’t attend any art school. I have no art culture/knowledge. I don't consider myself an artist.
I think the world has enough of them. Some of them are really good. Others are just mediocre in their attempts to express themselves. But it's good that they exist as they give us the possibility to notice and appreciate the real art.

I was not invited to any cultural events. I don't know what a gallery looks like. I don't know how to look at a painting, photography or sculpture - or any other art. I don't know the genres and styles of art. I've heard of the renaissance, I know about Van Gogh as much as any other ordinary man knows.
I don't think I will let myself study art in this life. I don't know how to appreciate a painting, but the most important thing is that I feel the vibration of a well-made piece of art.

What you need to know about me:

I've had millions of small sketches so far.

I’ve painted dozens of paintings that ended up in the trash to make space in the house.

I have the courage to paint without taking into account anyone’s opinions.

I consider myself superior and I like that.

I consider myself mediocre and I invite you to see me like that, to consider me being no one - after all, it is just your simple opinion about me.

I consider myself surreal, annoying, and stubborn.
What are my intentions?

To continue painting in my way without any regimes, boundaries imposed by schools, art influence, or market demands.

Full - stop.
