Future Tribes – My First Solo Exhibition in Sibiu
I'm delighted to share that on July 23 I'll be opening Future Tribes, my first solo exhibition in Sibiu, hosted by HEARTFULLY by the Polisano Foundation.
This exhibition brings together a selection of my recent drawings exploring mythology, ritual, identity, and imagined futures. Through works created in graphite and colored pencil, I continue my ongoing exploration of a world where humanity has evolved by reconnecting with nature, ancestral memory, and symbolic traditions. The figures inhabiting these drawings wear ritual masks and ceremonial garments, becoming fragments of a speculative future where technological progress and ancient wisdom coexist.
The exhibition is presented at HEARTFULLY, Romania's first charity art gallery, an inspiring initiative created by the Polisano Foundation in the historic center of Sibiu. More than an exhibition space, HEARTFULLY is a cultural project that connects contemporary art with healthcare, education, and community engagement. Through its charitable model, proceeds from donated artworks help fund life-saving cardiac surgeries and medical treatments for children supported by the foundation.
Earlier this year, I had the privilege of contributing two artworks to HEARTFULLY's permanent collection, supporting this meaningful initiative. I'm especially grateful to now have the opportunity to collaborate with the HEARTFULLY team once again and present my artworks in such a beautiful and inspiring space.
Future Tribes invites visitors into a contemporary mythology built through drawing, one that reflects on identity, transformation, and the enduring relationship between the past and the future. Each work imagines fragments of a civilization that has rediscovered balance through ritual, nature, and collective memory, asking what remains fundamentally human as the world continues to change.
If you're in Sibiu, I'd be very happy to welcome you to the opening reception on Thursday, July 23, at 6:00 PM.
The exhibition will be on view from July 23 to August 6, 2026 at HEARTFULLY Gallery, 9 Mai Street 44–46, Sibiu.
Alongside the original drawings available through the exhibition, a small selection of archival Fine Art Giclée prints will also be available for purchase.
I hope to see you there.
