Radu Carp was born in Bucharest in February 1998. He graduated in Visual Arts from the National University of Arts in Bucharest, completing his bachelor’s degree in Graphics at the Faculty of Fine Arts and his master’s in Mural Art at the Faculty of Decorative Arts and Design. His thesis, Ornamentation and Rhythm in Mural Composition, explored the intricate relationship between design elements and the flow of mural art.

Radu’s work spans painting, book graphics, and muralism, with his pieces displayed in galleries both in Romania and internationally. Notably, his work has been featured at the 1001arte Gallery in Bucharest, and he has participated in two group exhibitions in Paris in 2022 and 2023 at Rivoli 59, as part of a cultural exchange between the 1001arte and Rivoli59 associations.

In graphic design, Radu has contributed to comic projects, including Histories from 89, a collection reflecting on the 1989 Revolution, which brought together 38 comic artists. However, it’s muralism that truly captivates him. Since he felt confined by the limitations of paper and canvas, Radu has focused on creating large-scale works that connect with public spaces. His most recent mural, a series of portraits of philosophers, can be found on the walls of the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Bucharest, completed in 2023. Radu’s first public mural appeared in 2019 on the fence of the Mihai Viteazul Secondary School in Călărași, and in 2022, he painted a mural on the Rivoli 59 building in Paris.

Now living and working in Bucharest, Radu continues to explore new artistic horizons as a freelance artist, bringing his unique vision to the walls and spaces around him.
