Description

Florin Mitroi was a Romanian contemporary expressionist artist whose striking portraits and depictions of the human body have been compared to Picasso’s engravings of mythological characters.

His work is divided between his prolific artistic activity – the artist being rather reserved regarding the communist ideological program – and his didactic contribution, an important constant in his life. His career as a mentor of other artists is reflected in the significant influence he had as a reference figure on future generations.

Since his death, his work has been exhibited at the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Bucharest; the Contemporary Art Gallery of the Brukenthal National Museum, Sibiu; Johnen Galerie, Berlin; La Kunsthalle, Mulhouse; Espace Niemeyer, Paris; MARe – Muzeul de Artă Recentă, Bucharest; de Warande, Turnhout; Kunsthalle, Vienna; Museum Dhont-Dhaenens; Mogoşoaia Palace, Bucharest; the Museum of Art, Timişoara; The Museum of Art, Cluj; Catacomba Gallery, Bucharest; and others.
