Adrian Preda developed his practice within the Bucharest art scene following studies at the University of Arts in Bucharest and further training at ASP Poznań. This background shaped a visual language grounded in painting, drawing and illustration, through which he examines the intersections between biological life, technological environments and the shifting conditions of the present.

His work has been included in solo and group exhibitions in Romania and abroad, with notable presentations at H’Art Gallery in Bucharest, Atelier am Eck in Düsseldorf and the Sofia Arsenal Museum for Contemporary Art. These platforms have situated his production within ongoing debates on ecological awareness and the renewed scholarly interest in the agency of non-human species.

Preda’s compositions often bring animal figures to the forefront, rendered with a clarity that underlines their status as active participants in fragile ecosystems. His imagery reflects on the pressures exerted upon these environments by human intervention, industrial residue and the persistent presence of plastics, which alter habitats as well as the visual and material experience of the world. His interest in growth, decay and transformation connects close observation of natural processes with a wider inquiry into temporality, mutation and the entwined trajectories of nature and society.

In recent years he has consolidated a method that combines precise figuration with measured speculative elements. Realist representation serves as a framework for questioning the boundaries between organism and artefact, and between natural and constructed systems. This position, together with his sustained engagement with environmental themes, has made his work increasingly relevant for institutional and private collections that seek to document the concerns and visual languages that define post-industrial culture.
