Cristian Blei

Biography

"I consider myself a visual explorer of the mystery of life, of the mystery of being.

Developing my polysemantic nonfigurative language, my paintings focus on the perspective of the vision of a mystical, timeless and metamorphosable space in which emotion and dream meet."

Cristian Blei is a Romanian contemporary visual artist, b. in 1974 in Bucharest, from a family of visuals artists.  He started drawing and painting at a very young age, fascinated by the  power of colors and shapes like a magical thing. Coming from a family of  visual artists, the plastic language became very familiar to him from  an early age, later unambiguously determining his path to the artistic  field. The years of apprenticeship in his father's studio had a strong imprint on him before he developed his own vision and style. As a technique, he mainly uses oils paint in successive layers, using any pleasant accident of colors on the canvas, integrating it as part of the play of shapes.
