Carmen Dumitru

I am a Romanian‑born painter based in Romania, focused on contemporary symbolic figurative painting. My work explores the boundary between humanity, spirituality and technology, blending acrylic glazes, warm‑cold colour contrast and luminous backgrounds to create liminal, portal‑like spaces. I draw inspiration from human condition and the dialogue between organic life and mechanical‑biotechnological elements, building compositions with strong symbolic narrative. I take part in national and international painting contests and group exhibitions.

2003 – George Enescu National University of Arts, Iași, Romania – Licentiate Degree in Mural and Environmental Painting
