Biography
Tudor Gafton, painter and photographer, was born in 1961 in Bucharest, Romania. Despite a career in the oil and gas industry, he always harbored a burning passion for art, particularly the visual arts.
Tudor began drawing very early in his life, completing his first "real painting" entitled "The Rehearsal" in 1984. After taking early retirement in 2018, he finally found more time to fully devote himself to his passion for the painting. He is currently working to develop a diverse artistic portfolio.
Besides painting, Tudor is also passionate about photography and has a collection of antique cameras which he uses in his artistic practice.
He lives and works in Romania, where he has occasionally exhibited his works at events in Romania and Kazakhstan. A milestone in his artistic career was the sale of his first painting at a charity auction in November 2019.
Tudor Gafton's artistic influences draw from Russian and Romanian artists of the late 19th century and first half of the 20th century. He believes in the universal scope of the artistic message and chooses the figurative to make art accessible to a wide range of audiences and backgrounds.
Tudor enjoys exploring light, contrast and composition to attract the viewer and directly convey the message he wishes to communicate through his art.
