Cojocaru

‍

Abstract and austere, Andrei Cojocaru’s fascination with clean-cut silhouettes set against nostalgic landscapes has become an elevating force in contemporary collage. The carefully constructed works of Cojocaru incorporate stylistic elements of the early 20th century, reminiscent of one of Europe’s foremost Avant-Garde pioneers, Hungarian Bauhaus teacher László Moholy-Nagy.

Andrei Cojocaru is a Romanian artist living and working in Paris, France. After studying Law at the Sorbonne University and working for several years in international advertising as an account manager, he became a freelance illustrator and full-time artist specialized in collage. A self-taught creative, Andrei creates his images from diverse sources by mixing elements that didn’t necessarily belong together in the first place. With a keen interest in history and feeling nostalgic about a past he didn’t know, he enjoys working with old papers and black-and-white photos to which he gives a new life through modern graphic constructions.
