Sorin Dumitrescu is a Romanian painter, graphic artist, and a member of the Romanian Academy. Under the close supervision of painter and professor Corneliu Baba, Dumitrescu graduated from the National University of Arts in Bucharest, where he studied alongside Mihai Cismaru, Ștefan Câlția, and Sorin Ilfoveanu. In the 1980s, Dumitrescu joined the 9+1 Group together with artists such as Horia Bernea, Marin Gherasim, and Vasile Gorduz. Dumitrescu’s main influence in his compositions is the Neo-Orthodox style of painting, which had a profound effect on the Romanian art scene of the last decade of the socialist regime. Through his compositions, Dumitrescu illustrates celestial characters, spiritual objects, and religious architectural structures, employing a defined yet expressive palette of colours. His work has been exhibited in countries such as France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Romania, in both solo and group shows.
