Ciprian Mihailescu

Ciprian Mihailescu is a visual artist based in Bucharest, Romania, with a background in Philosophy and Arts from the University of Bucharest. An admirer of the Old Masters and influenced by Surrealism, I combine magical realism with post-conceptual sensibilities, creating images with a strong symbolic and dreamlike dimension. My sources of inspiration include mythology, philosophy and literature filtered through lived experiences, encounters, travel, and affective memory. For me, painting becomes a space of inner exploration, capable of reactivating the nostalgia of the past while opening the viewer toward imagination and dreaming. My works invite contemplation and introspection, proposing a visual experience situated between memory, imagination, and reverie. My works are part of private collections worldwide.
