A place where emotions connect through art

Sorin Ilfoveanu (b. 1946, Campulung-Muscel) is one of Romania's most important contemporary artists. He graduated in 1970 from the class of Corneliu Baba and went on to become, in turn, head of the Department of Painting, Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts and Rector of the National University of Arts in Bucharest. His creation, in drawing and painting, is recognizable by the intensely personal style that explores existential themes, symbolically-cripted in his already iconic characters, with Byzantine visual sources and a subtle primitive stylistic horizon. His most notable international exhibitions include the Venice Biennale in 1987, along with presentations in Norway, Holland, France, Austria, Italy, Germany, Greece, Chile, Chile, South Korea and Japan. His work can be found in major museums and private collections around the world, from Paris to Tokyo, from Bucharest to Oslo and Perugia.

His recent work includes exhibitions in Spain, France, Germany, Poland, United Kingdom, Italy, Serbia, Norway, Austria, Japan and China.
