Project Description
Raul Balí
Raul Balí is a Romanian artist born in 1998 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, where he actually lives and works.
The artist aims through his works to reproduce various hypostases of the individual, put in enigmatic scenes, so as to form an idyllic atmosphere. He is often interested in the dream space and the individual’s connection with it, how it comes to affect his subconscious and vice versa, with an emphasis on chromatic contrasts. Raul Balica is also focusing in portraying the LGBTQ+ community both locally and internationally. The main environment that he works on is Polaroid photography and analog with image interventions, Photographic Transformations, collages and mixed media.
