About
Iulian Cetanas is a self-taught artist based in Brașov, Romania, devoted to painting and portraiture.
After graduating from a college of economics, he chose to devote himself to art. With no formal training, he built his own path through steady study and practice — learning the craft directly from the work itself.
His work centres on portraits, still life and landscape, made mostly in oil, charcoal and graphite, as well as pastel and mixed media. He also creates handmade icons on wood.
His greatest inspirations include John Singer Sargent, Ilya Repin, Anders Zorn, Valentin Serov and Nick Alm.
