HI, I'M RADU!
LEARN ABOUT MY ARTS JOURNEY
FROM INFINITY CONCEPT AND HUMAN SUPERFICIALITY TO COLLECTING MOMENTS BY STOPPING
THE TIME.
01.
Growing up in a small town in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania, I was bored.
After a childhood full of adventures comparable to Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer, I
surrounded myself with poetry and music at around 14 years old.
In 1998, after meeting Sasha M., a Croatian photographer, I changed my
perspective and took on visual arts. I started shooting 35mm film with my two
Zenit E cameras and continued to build a portfolio of mostly landscape
photography until 2004.
Unfortunately, 2004 was a dark year. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I lost
everything: my cameras, negatives, my developed films, prints and hard-drives,
my music, and my poetry.
Three years later, I returned stronger and began to rebuild everything from
scratch, this time using digital cameras.
My perspective changed once again, and I never really returned to landscape
photography. Focusing more on human subjects, their emotions, expressions, and
documenting everyday life gave me the freedom to immortalize moments and moods
as I lived and felt them myself. This is how the "My Street" and "Archives"
projects were born.
In 2016, after a culturally shocking trip to Japan, I quit my day job and
started all my digital art projects, laying down struggles and ideas that had
haunted me for over 30 years: the concept of infinity, and the superficiality of
human nature.
All five of my digital art projects are open, and while I am planning new works
to add to them, I find myself focusing more on the photography projects. I don't
decide anything in advance regarding my creative flow, letting my mood dictate
what I will create next.
The most important thing is not to stop! As long as I don't stop, I am happy!

FAVOURITE PHOTOGRAPHERS AND PHOTOGRAPHS
I AM MORE ATTRACTED TO AUTHENTICITY THAN PERFECTION.
03.
THE NIÉPCE HELIOGRAPH (1827)
It is the earliest photograph produced with the aid of the camera obscura known
to survive today.
The Niépce Heliograph passed through a chain of private hands in Britain in the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries before it was purchased by the Harry Ransom
Center in 1963 as part of the Gernsheim Collection.

VIVIAN MAIER (1926 – 2009)
I LOVE her work. I see the world as she saw it. I understand her. I relate with
her awkwardness. I am her.
Unmaterialistic, with a passion for documenting, shooting candid expressions and
scenes, with affinity for the poor, seeking out the unusual, heavily
opinionated, intensely private, obsessively taking pictures, eccentric, free
spirit. It's all there.

DEATH BY SUSHI (SASHA SUSHI-SUSHI)
The photographer who inspired me to pursue photography in the first place is
also the author of the most consistent, if not the only, Edmonton Urban
Architecture Archive, "Big Ed".
24 years after I first met him, I feel that he is going to be the reason I'll go
back into the rabbit hole of shooting film and in-house processing.

Whilst appreciating all street and documentary photographers, there is no space
to list them all here.
However, some of the principles I am following and applying in my work are: not
to let my vision be dramatically influenced, and not to follow trends.
I like to think that I am reinventing the wheel - without even knowing it!
MY GOALS
TO LEARN THE RULES LIKE A PRO SO I CAN BREAK THEM LIKE AN ARTIST.

PHOTOGRAPHY
From the digital photography perspective, I stopped at Fujifilm X-T3 camera, as
I found it to fit my needs. I am now using a 16-80mm F4 Fujifilm lens, as I find
prime lenses too restrictive for my style of shooting. Experimenting with a new
fixed focus lens will be part of my next Project.
When it comes to film photography, I am planning to start a new Project, using
my collection of nine "rescued" cameras in combination with rolls of expired
film. The theme of the Project is still a secret, and it will stay this way
until I'll publish the first photograph from this Project on my website.
DIGITAL ARTS
The digital art Project I will continue to grow is "The Teaspoon Element".
Unfortunately, I'll not be able to create more artworks using the same technique
and principles, but I am actively exploring new ways of improving the process.
The "Accidental Planning" Project is one which will be expanded in the near
future. The artist's vision is missing from the discovery process of new
artworks, so I'll work on this Project every time I'll take a break from other
works, or when I'll feel drained of creativity.
