Gavril Pop

(b. 1998, Timișoara)

Gavril Pop (b. 1998, Timișoara) lives and works in Timișoara, focusing on creating a visual language through recurring signs and patterns. Guided by subconscious impulses, he reconfigures elements like recycled materials – book covers, maps, and discarded paper – and combines them with his own geometric shapes and symbols. His process transforms these signs into visual sentences, exploring meaning, narrative, and self-interpretation while emphasizing learning and arcane knowledge systems. Pop studied painting and art history at the West University of Timișoara and is active in the local art scene as a curator, writer, and cultural mediator. He collaborates with independent art spaces, foundations, and associations, contributing to exhibitions and cultural programs. Recently, he managed educational projects on natural sciences and artistic research at Indecis Artist-Run in Timișoara. His work has been exhibited at Art Encounters Foundation, Kunsthalle Bega, Ivan Gallery, and others.
