About the artist:

Tiberiu Goia was born in Timisoara, Romania, his current town as well. Studies of engineering and economics took him in completely other direction than painting. A well rewarded banking career seemed to settle him on this track. Until ... he decided to decorate one of his rooms. It was empty, so a sofa in black and white arrived. An abstract painting on the wall matching the pattern of the sofa would have looked nice, he said. The searches on paintings sites were unsatisfactory. So he decided to paint it himself.  This was in 2016.The decision changed his life. After finishing it, he fall in love with painting. He decided to go further, to paint. But funny, although his first painting was abstract, he was attracted by figurative.  So he became a self taught artist, left handed, fan of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Caravaggio and his chiaroscuro paintings soon imprinted his visions. His paintings contain the mystery and hidden messages of his favorite periods. Only that the messages are adapted to the current social realities.  Education:  Polytechnic University  of Timisoara, 1993 Western University of Timisoara, 1997 Exhibitions: Timisoara City Hall Gallery, solo exhibitions in 2017, 2018, 2019
