My name is Lucian Sebastian Radu and in my art, I use symbolism to convey complex themes and emotions. The teddy bears in my paintings represent childhood innocence, while the balloon symbolizes peace and stability. The elongated hands depict both the absence of affection and the longing for it, with the empty gaze accentuated by the absence of eyes. Visually, I aim for a combination of pop art's seriality, the lightness of comics, the perfection of digital print, and the expressiveness of Renaissance art. Through my W.A.R. (We Are Right) project, I explore the falsely justified motivations behind wars and the generational traumas endured by children. It's a personal reflection on the human condition and the ongoing struggles for peace amidst conflict.
