We are complex human beings, different and sometimes difficult to define in words, but at the same time we are very easy to read. Self portrait is about your personality which is never the same. You are born, you grow and evolve so that in the end you are whole.

Lucian Szekely-Rafan, a contemporary Romanian artist with over two decades of artistic experience, passionately dedicates himself to mastering his technique, evident in the vibrant palette of colors and emotion present in all his works. Never devoid of the natural element, Lucian employs a pen and paper to define his artistic style, primarily focusing on lowbrow and pop surrealism. His creations are characterized by the use of mixed media.
Recognizing that the world is nuanced and diverse, Lucian explores various artistic avenues to capture its essence. His repertoire includes engraving, charcoal, painting (albeit to a lesser extent), and, more recently, jewelry.
In his artistic journey, Lucian aims to redefine the portrait by blending Renaissance classicism, Boschian strangeness and eeriness, and surreal hermeticism. This fusion creates a formula that challenges conventional notions of aesthetics and beauty. Through the decomposition of the portrait, he explores the theme of isolation within one's own confines—an era marked by uniformity and a lack of individuality. Despite these challenges, Lucian believes that art has the power to guide the viewer's eye towards the decryption of beauty.
His innovative concept forms a bridge between traditional graphic art and jewelry. In this reinterpretation, jewelry transcends its purely decorative role, assuming a deeper significance that conveys attitude, vision, and ideas. Lucian Szekely-Rafan's artistic exploration not only captures the intricacies of the world around him but also challenges and redefines the boundaries of traditional art forms.
