Monica Diana Coman
I am currently a lecturer at the University of Art and Design in Cluj-Napoca, within the Department of Graphics. My artistic and teaching endeavors revolve around drawing, which I regard not only as a form of visual expression but also as an essential tool for exploring reality. Drawing has been and remains the cornerstone of my research, serving both as a means to observe and understand the world around me and as a medium to convey ideas, emotions, and concepts in a manner that is both direct and profoundly impactful.

Alin Carpen
Alin Florin Carpen is a sculptor who graduated from the "Ion Mincu" University of Architecture and Urbanism in Bucharest in 2000, and later completed a Master's degree in Sculpture from the National University of Arts in Bucharest in 2015.
Alin Carpen believes that each person's experiences are unique, shaped by their individual perspective on life. Existence teaches us that the future is unpredictable. He holds that everyone who lives leaves behind a humble trace, and, in time, someone may (re)discover in these modest marks the profoundness, the revelation of time, and our existence within it.

Beaver
Beaver is a contemporary artist.
He studied graphics but is much more interested and preoccupied with painting.
In general, he paints in oil, but he also plays with other materials.
Thematically and stylistically, he is very diverse, either he works meticulously and realistically, or strongly abstract.
His ideational spectrum starts from baroque visceralities, goes through vulgar beginnings and ends up in humorous existential absurdity.
b. 1987, Bucharest
Daniela Vîrlan
Daniela primarily works with oil on canvas, watercolor, and ink on paper. By incorporating elements from reality or symbols from the universal human consciousness, the artist establishes synergistic, symbiotic, or antagonistic relationships. These elements are engaged in continuous interaction with one another, generating a distinctive symbolic dynamism. The seemingly spontaneous forms, with references to elaborate realities, reveal a continuous unpredictability, a flux of surprising associations and juxtapositions: angels, birds, Madonnas, monsters, and figures caught in a Brownian motion.

Diana Oțet
I like to deal with simple and apparently banal objects, actions and fragments of reality, which obsessively pervade my thoughts, with fragmentary and seemingly commonplace scenes, which I represent in attempts to confer them a metaphysical dimension and symbolic meaning. However, my more recent works are attempts to reach a more sophisticated metaphorical, symbolic quality and to more compellingly affirm the importance of spirituality in our egocentrism burdened lives, as well as the art’s ability to offer, via fantasy and imagination, an insight into one’s spiritual quests and identity revealing challenges.
