Cătălin Precup (b. 1981, Târgu Mureș) is a Romanian visual artist specialized in fine art painting. He has studied at the University of Art and Design in Cluj-Napoca, and is currently based in Sibiu, where he teaches painting and is part of the Brukenthal von Studio collective. His works have been presented in personal and group exhibitions nationally and internationally. Although figurative, he is interested more in capturing that subtle and sometimes total slip of the reality in the realm of the incredible, the imaginary, the unusual and the oneiric, than mere representation, with a clarity of a medused oculus mentis. Consequently, through several alchemical stages, which can be subsumed under a process of creative visualization, it transfigures a reality analogous to the usual one, which leaves more room for allegory, reflection, transrational, sensuality, humor and enigma.
