ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Born on 1965 in Brasov, Romania.

Launched the term realism of conception, and brought it together with the abstract expressionism, manifestation in which he stylize the forms and the concepts until their essence, is found, emphasizing , their spiritual essence.

a€śThe artist is situated in an interior of the fundaments a€ a kind of land of genesis, of confinement just accomplished in which all created things discover each other and become friends gradually, sensing their common roots.

His artworks have been a part of art collections from different cultural areas for a long time, this certainly indicates an unusual expressiveness and a depth of his message and his artistic language.

Exceptional artistic experience, the artwork of the painter Dan Brad fascinates us and rearranges our retina with his each and every new work.a€ť

a€śWorking in his native Transylvanian region of Romania, painter Dan Brad explores colorful and dynamic abstract expressionism. Occasionally, one of his paintings features a nearly figurative form, while the rest of the image booms with bright hues, energetic movements and strong forms. These abstractions are Brad's focus, as he crafts energy, flow and direction with a build-up of swooping shapes, lines and shades. Playing with this changing, shifting imagery, Brad gives his works titles that reflect their shapes but do not confine meaning.

His abstractions, despite their eclecticism, always organize themselves around shelters, structures and architectural shapes. In so doing, Brad invites us to engage the forms by interpreting and redefining them. Stylized roofs, caves, windows and doorways punctuate his fluid landscapes, but do not confine the viewer. With these spaces and refuges, Brad invites viewers into the works; he carves a space within his art from which we may look back out. Finally, he explores our sense of interiority by portraying his own.a€ť
