Sorin Sorin
Sorin Sorin is a thirty eight year old painter that lives and works in Kishnev, in the republic of Moldova. His talent for drawing and painting was noticed at an early age by one of his teachers at school, during the time when sorin was a young boy there was a very good system in place for assisting young artists.
He was placed in a Art school and was eventually given a scholarship to the National Art academy in Kishnev. He attended the Repyn Art Academy as well an holds a masters of Fine art degree. Upon earning his degree Sorin worked at the national opera house painting back drops for productions there as well as holding a job as the art director for a movie studio. During the time he was employed as an art director, sorin continued to paint and hone his technical abilities. He was drawn to a style that allowed him to realistically depict his subject with photorealistic clarity using traditional painting techniques. He further enhanced his style by imbuing the paintings with soft light or warm colors and developed his style into what he considers to be romantic realism. He however is not upset by the classification of photorealist.
I love the technical nature of painting and I am a romantic at heart, so I have attempted to bring both of these elements into my work, I like to create an “ultra memory” of a place combining elements of things that inspired me about a place with ideas for making that memory more like a dream of that place.
Sorin is widely considered the best living artist in Moldova today. He is so highly regarded that when a national treasure from the museum is in need of repair or restoration; the museum calls on him, “this is something I do without asking for compensation, these are our countries great works, it is an honor to work on paintings I have studied in books as a student.”
