Description

Mihai Sârbulescu (b. 1957 in Bucharest) is a Romanian painter and co-founder of the Prolog artistic group, together with Paul Gherasim, Constantin Flondor, Christian Paraschiv, and Horea Paștina. During his formative years, Sârbulescu studied painting with Virgil Neagu and Liviu Lăzărescu, and later graduated from the Nicolae Grigorescu Art Institute in 1981. 

Sârbulescu’s works often depict rural architecture and sceneries, floral arrangements, as well as liturgical objects, drawing influence from the Balchik School of Painting, and expressionist art. The dark and golden tones of the oil painting Vessel (1999) convey the ritual significance of the object, covering almost the entire canvas. The painting can be interpreted in conjunction with Sârbulescu’s series of church bells, which cast a clearer reference to the painter’s Neo-Orthodox influences. 

Sârbulescu’s works have been exhibited in countries such as Germany, the US, Hungary, and Romania, in both solo and group exhibitions. With the Prolog Group, Sârbulescu’s works have been shown in Italy, Romania, and Cyprus.
