Florin Iliescu's figurative paintings are focused on the unguarded moment — a reader absorbed in a book, a worker on a break, a face in the moment before a decision is made. He is not interested in the performed or the posed but in the self that surfaces when the subject is not thinking about being seen.
His abstract paintings exist in a separate but related practice, pursuing the same interest in revelation rather than performance. He uses mixed media in these works, combining paint with materials that carry their own histories. He is based in Bucharest and accepts commissions for figurative portraits.
