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 intuitively creates images with a timeless quality.
His images are often carefully staged and produced, and other times are captured from real life experiences.
