Nicolae Negurǎ

Nicolae Negură is a Romanian visual artist and illustrator currently based in Lisbon, Portugal. His work focuses on figurative painting and drawing, engaging with themes of personal narrative, identity, and the human condition. His practice is marked by expressive figuration influenced by vintage comics, combining vivid colors with soft gradients and bold, irregular contours.

Motivated by a strong impulse to communicate emotion, his work explores vulnerability, perception, and introspection, giving space to personal storytelling through a distinctive visual language.

Laceoni, an anagram of Nicolae’s name, is used as a signature for personal projects that focus on relationships, emotion, and the representation of the human figure. Through this body of work, he develops a more intimate and nuanced approach to visual storytelling, emphasizing expression, connection, and atmosphere.
