Dragoș Bădiță (b. 1987) lives and works in Bucharest, Romania. He graduated from the University of Arts and Design in Cluj-Napoca, specialising in painting. In 2009 he finished his MA studies at the same university. In 2015 he exhibits at the National Portrait Gallery as part as the BP Portrait Award event, and also at Scottish National Portrait Gallery/ Edinburgh,UK (2015) and Ulster Museum/ Belfast, UK (2016). Dragoș Bădiță chooses the subjects of his oil and ink paintings and drawings from deeply personal surroundings, transforming the artworks into frames-of-consciousness, glimpses of the human psyche and its connection to others. His figurative paintings reflect on Flemish and Danish painterly influences, striking a contemporary contrast with his choice of framing and merge of motifs and fantastic landscapes.
