Alexander Tinei

Alexander Tinei, born in1967, Căușeni, Moldova. He lives and works in Budapest.

 

Alexander Tinei's artistic practice is characterized by a remarkable mastery of pictorial technique and a profound exploration of the human condition. Tinei excels in creating striking portraits that seem to capture the soul of his subjects. He uses an intense color palette and meticulous detail to create works that exude an aura of unsettling realism, while subtly playing with elements of the imaginary. 

 

One of the distinguishing features of Alexander Tinei's work is his ability to interweave elements of the absurd and the unreal into scenes that, at first glance, seem rooted in reality. He thus creates a subtle dialogue between the real and the surreal, inviting the viewer to question the boundaries between these two worlds. His canvases are often inhabited by characters with bewitching expressions, evoking a complex range of emotions and feelings. 

 

Alexander Tinei's contribution to today's art lies in his willingness to depict cyberspace characters, figures with very real, human features that exist only in this online universe. For Tinei, today's youth seems more in dialogue and connection with these fictional spaces than reality, and his works bear witness to this. 

 

Alexander Tinei has been the subject of numerous exhibitions in Japan, Hungary, France, Greece, the United States, Germany and Russia. He is considered by many artists to be the father of the Moldavian realist school.
