Artworks by Grama Gabriel

Hello, I'm Gabriel Grama

My work is a thorough exploration of myths, human archetypes, and spirituality. I blend figures from ancient Greece, Byzantine tradition, Romanian pagan rituals, and Balkan folk art into dreamlike compositions that speak of ascent, struggle, and the search for light. Horses, mythical beings, and humans populate my canvases, each telling a story of transformation and inner strength or of fall and destruction.

These pieces that you are about to discover, are filled with complex shapes and bodily interconnection that invite the viewer to analyze each and every little detail in order to uncover the little stories and subsequently, the bigger picture of life.

For most of my artwork I use acrylic colours on canvas after I outline the forms of my subjects with charcoal. I also experiment with coloured pens on hard paper and canvas, a technique I adapted during the pandemic because it was convenient at the time.
