Andrei Nițu

Andrei Nițu (2000) is an artist specialized in painting. His work serves as an external agent, capable of validating his own identity and functioning as a potent tool for propagating his personal ideology. He fabricates his paintings with a manipulative attitude, which he believes is historically characteristic of this medium, with the scope of momentarily controlling the viewer’s emotional state.

As an individual diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Nițu engages in the performative pursuit of the contemporary painter to unveil the profound connections between imprints of trauma, identity, and the nuances of ego. In his process, he navigates the realms of psychology, self-analysis, and the philosophy of production. Rather than providing explicit illustrations or didactic translations of ideas, he prefers the power of ambiguous symbolism to reference the underlying motives and psychological complexities that drive human behavior. Therefore, his body of work is characterized by a catalog of symbols, which when connected create a multifaceted narrative.
