Horațiu’s work is balanced between artistic and commercial projects. He communicates through colour and character building and takes a cinematic approach to his imagery. He often draws inspiration from various archives of historical and contemporary images, and using a suggestive visual grammar, intuitively creates images with a timeless quality. His images are sometimes imagined and carefully staged, and other times feel very real, factual, and experienced.
