A couple in real life as well as behind the camera, these two inseparable artists live life passionately, shuttling between Paris and their native city Bucharest. Dana and Stephane Maitec are photographers who have been based in Paris for the past 25 years being known for their cinematographic style on capturing human nature. 

Stephane, the son of internationally renowned artists, sculptor Ovidiu Maitec and painter Sultana Maitec,  successfully graduated Fine Art Academy in Bucharest, specializing  in scenography. His craft as a set designer beautifully complements the deeply intimate images of self-taught photographer Dana. 

Dana puts the final touch, with her native  aesthetic sense for beauty, showcasing simplicity  blended smoothly with refinement,  transforming  each image  into a unique and mysterious story,  depicted in a state of the art form. Their new approach to photography is a bold declaration of light as the main creative force and a call for minimalist, technology-free artist intervention, exploring the boundaries between photography, painting, and light sculpture, and aim to create a new fluid art genre.

Their work has appeared in prestigious international publications and have been exhibited in solo or group shows in various cities including "Crowning Heads Machine,” - Arles,  “Constructure” - NAG Paris, "#Maitec, Wood, Gold, Light” - MNAR Bucarest, "Join the Dots”- Imago Mundi - Luciano Benetton Collection or "La couleur en mouvement” - Galerie Wagner Paris. The artist's works are held in private collections in cities worldwide, including New York, London, and Hong Kong, and in public collections such as the National Art Museum of Romania and the University Stevens Institute of Technology in New York.
