Mihai Cismaru was a Romanian painter educated at the “Nicolae Grigorescu” Institute of Fine Arts in Bucharest, where he studied under Corneliu Baba and graduated in 1970 as valedictorian. His artistic formation in Baba’s atelier fostered a disciplined and introspective vision grounded in psychological realism. As a member of Grupul Celor Patru alongside Sorin Ilfoveanu, Ștefan Câlția, and Zamfir Dumitrescu, he played a key role in the renewal of post-academic painting in Romania during the 1970s. Cismaru’s works are distiquished by a rigorous compositional structure, subtle chromatic harmonies, and a contemplative engagement to the visible world. A recipient of scholarships from the British Council and the United States, he developed a lucid and meditative pictorial language that positioned painting as both a spiritual quest and an exercise in intellectual discipline.
