Roman Tolici (b. 1974, Republic of Moldova) is a prominent figure on Romanian art scene. Emerging in the early 2000's, Tolici is part of a generation of Romanian artists who draws on the quotidian world. Tolici employed a medium which was considered exhausted at the time, believing that figurative painting still hides unexplored potential for his attempt to reinterpret contemporary stereotypes. Often associated with a hyperrealism imbued by poetry and a surreal sense of everyday life, his paintings become details of a monumental narrative evolving from general human questions and anxieties. The power of his works lies in the depiction of recurrent subjects and everyday life in a different perspective, ordinary subjects become involved in never-ending chapters and quotidian scenes turn into reflections about time, memory and traces.
