Dragos Alexandrescu is a Romanian visual artist, based in Ostrobothnia, Finland, since 2007. Most of his art practice is a form of interrogation of the present where his fictional narrative stories, based on real socio- economic facts, try to (re)produce an emotional rather than rational response of the audience regarding the information presented. Each image is presenting aspects of life, mostly related with the period of economical and identity crisis which Europe is confronting lately.
