Luca Florian (b.1998), a graduate from Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (2022), is a visual artist based in Bucharest. He exhibited his work at Invitro Gallery, Atelier 35, and CAV Gallery, and in group shows at prestigious venues like The Museum of Recent Art (Bucharest), Zina Gallery (Cluj), Galeria Posibilă (Bucharest), Polansky Gallery (Prague) and Kunst im Tunnel Museum (Düsseldorf). In his work, aspects of the visible are altered, juxtaposed and made unnatural, depicting rather their inner essence or remnant memories. The dialogue between personal cosmos, art history, literature, video games and dreams creates unheimlich representations, deconstructing and reconstructing reality. Through this visual play, often embodied in humanlike figures, he tries to capture the many feelings that haunt our present world: anxiety, haste, togetherness, irritability, abrupt transitions between joy and discontent.
