Justinian Mihail Scarlatescu

I was born in 1977, in Romania. I studied at the National University of Arts in Bucharest.
In the art I practice, I combine my training as painter with photographer and paninter artist. The technique used for processing images is unique. I use the analog device, manually developing the photographies on canvas, wood and recycled paper.

My work technique has been defined in time, starting with the experimentation of photography and painting. Trained as painter, but with a curiosity towards photography and the classic darkroom photography, I wished to combine in my art the two techniques in order to bring the photography in the area of the unique. Therefore the technical process is based on liquid photoemulsion and different technical additions from the typography area, practically a mix between black and white photography development, darkroom manipulation and painting.
Each photography developed this way on handmade paper, canvas or wood has visual particularities unrepeatable, therefore becoming unique.
