Claudiu Mladin

I am a fine art painter specializing in figurative art, nature and still life photo realism, and crossover between realism and street art. Inspiration comes to me from nature, wildlife and comic books, cartoons, and street art. I want to reflect on philosophical ideas as a background for promoting the purity and beauty expressed so bluntly in the entire natural life of our world.

In my works, I explore the landscape of the fast-approaching demise of our world’s habitat for both humans and wildlife, and how it’s intrinsically tied to humanity’s own ability to thrive.

By bringing some of the world’s most iconic birds, resembling different iconic identities of our culture and society, I hoped to rekindle a long-forgotten connection to the wild and thus the metaphor is reflected in a fantasy of a paradisiac society expressing the same joy and drama we find in our culture.
