Media:
Painter and mixed media artist

Adrian Paladi was born in 1998 in Chisinau, Moldova.

The artist was first exposed to the art world while studying Interior Design and Architecture in Chisinau, Moldova. In 2020 he moved to Columbia Missouri where he decided to start his professional art career. The creations made by the artist are predominantly in the mixed medium style. Paladi uses acrylic, acrylic with airbrush and oil as each type of material can be used for a specific desired effect on the same art piece. 

The artist has an interest in myths and legends for his inspiration. The fantasy world gives you the freedom to explore deeper without sacrificing realistic representations of subjects and characters. The reimagined themes usually involved elements of a future traditional style. In every piece the artist tries to find an element of surprise. It can be the overall expression of the figure, a detail or the moody environment in the background.
