Luca Florian (b. 1998, Bucharest) graduated from Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in 2022 and currently lives and works in Bucharest. His artistic practice alters, juxtaposes, and reimagines the visible to depict its inner essence and remnant memories. These visual narratives, often embodied in humanlike figures, address the emotional landscape of contemporary life—anxiety, haste, togetherness, irritability, and the abrupt transitions between joy and discontent.
Selected solo shows: In the living room shadows burn (2025, Galeria Posibila, Bucharest), Ruptured sky, (2023, Invitro Gallery, Bucharest), Like a moth to a flame (2023, Atelier 35, Bucharest), How nice it is not to be alone (2022, Raum 301, Kunstakademie Düsseldorf).
