In 2008-2009, noted for the quality of his work, he was offered a stay in the Academia de Bella Arte in Torino in the European Erasmus project. He benefits again from this project in 2011 and decides to go in Belgium for 3 months (11/2011-02/2012) in the Thuin’s gallery (Antecedence/ Ephemere).

WORK: Alexandru Cînean is a young painter who suggests us a powerful, full of torments, troubling and significant work. The artist offers a reflection on human nature, the danger of its intelligence and the tautness of the soul. His brushstroke sometimes precise, sometimes more impulsive, witnesses the passion of the painter. From landscape to portrait, Alexandru Cînean uses dark and dull or bright and violent tones allowing the viewer to immerse himself into the atmosphere of the canvas et to understand an idea of movement, tranquillity or distress. The artworks that will be exhibited at the MB-XL gallery will witness the work of reflection of the young artist. His artworks are inspired by the theatrical performance of “Faust” in Radu Stanca theatre in Romania. This subject explores man’s temptation and the possibility of salvation, illustrated by moving and upsetting paintings.
