Eșanu
I am an artist from Republic of Moldova
While my primary focus is painting with oil on canvas across various scales, my practice extends into photography, graphic design, and installation. Having explored mediums like tempera, acrylics, and spray paint, I find that oil remains my most intuitive language.
I conceptualize my practice as a laboratory for the study of human behavior. Whether working in oil on canvas or through large-scale installations, I aim to expose the underlying patterns and social contours that typically vanish beneath the glare of everyday life. Now, living in the shadow of a major conflict, in Ukraine my work has evolved into a form of vigilance—a persistent search for a visual language to articulate the pervasive state of alert and uncertainty that defines our collective present.
