Dragoș Bădiță
b. 1987, Romania
Dragoș Bădiță (b. 1987) lives and works in Bucharest, Romania. He graduated from the
University of Art and Design in Cluj and exhibited in Bucharest, Cluj, London, Copenhagen,
Athens, Ghent, Mallorca, Rome, Leipzig, Stockholm, Como and Berlin. He is working mostly in
physical media such as oil or ink and recently experimenting with generative art and animation.
His work stems from glimpses of ordinary, lived moments, that are getting charged with
existential and sometimes mystical themes and states of mind. The works reflect on the
momentary nature of experience and how it connects with a broader understanding of reality,
which brings to the forefront ideas regarding our relationship with nature, with the body, with
other people, with the fluctuating nature of the self, the inevitability of decay and dissolution
and the limits of understanding the inner worlds of others. His figurative paintings reflect on
Flemish and Danish painterly influences, striking a contemporary contrast with his choice of
framing and merge of motifs and fantastic landscapes.
