Mihai Criste is a creative Romanian artist who is fascinated by abstraction, mystery and surrealism. Inspired by famous surrealists like Dali and above all Magritte, Criste soon found that he would need to move beyond their influences in order to truly find his own unique style of painting.Mihai Criste claims: "The beautiful in art is nothing else but the essence, the creation". “My work is influenced by my studies of graphic art in the Art academy. My senses and seminification work together with my technical knowledge, which allows me to transcend my training into surrealistic creations.”
