There’s something about Corneliu Dragan’s work that makes you look at things differently. This is the goal of any serious artist, and Dragan seems to have succeeded in that regard with flying colors (no pun intended). Using the medium of watercolor paint, this artist has a very unique style that’s hard to ignore. The more you try to pinpoint what he’s doing, the more elusive it becomes—and therein lies its charm.
In that sense, Dragan is not unlike a magician who never reveals his tricks. You can see quite clearly that he’s a master of his craft, because his paintings are so specifically constructed that they feel intentional in every sense of the word. Perhaps this is why over 34,000 people made the decision to follow his Instagram page—which you should do as well if you like what you see.
As far as what he paints, you’ll often see him share watercolors of hustle and bustle city life, from fascinating European architecture to public transportation to average commuters on the way to work. From this perspective, he paints a relaxing, calm impression on regular life, which is probably why his work is so popular. Elevating the mundane is no simple task, and he’s done so with apparent ease.
