Roots Painting

Nebunu Dorin was born in Cahul, Moldova in 1994. He studied at the National College of Fine Arts from Chișinău in 2015 and the Academy of Music, Theatre and Fine Arts from Chișinău in 2020. Inspired by traditional decorative art of Moldova, which includes tapestry, ceramic work and household tools of Moldova; Nebunu Dorin synthetises the old spirit of working the land with modern materials and tools, as a raw but vital form of expressing the former’s colour and shapes. At the same time, he wishes to express that spirit’s deep roots in “chernozem”, which offered the basic means of survival for the people of Moldova who found themselves under the rule of various regimes, which perverted their culture and traditions.
