Biography
Adrian Paladi was born in 1998 in Chisinau, Moldova. The artist was first exposed to the art world while studying Interior Design and Architecture in Europe. In 2020, he moved to the United States, where he started his professional art career. His creations are predominantly in the mixed medium style, using acrylic, acrylic with airbrush and oil, to obtain specific effects on the same art piece.
The artist is interested in myths and legends for inspiration. The fantasy world provides freedom to explore without sacrificing realistic representations of subjects and characters. The reimagined themes usually involve elements of a future traditional style. In every piece the artist tries to convey an element of surprise, encountered in the overall expression of the figure, in detail, or in the background.
