Cristian Paraschiv

This printmaker’s work leans into the eerie side of folklore, blending dream and nightmare in sharp black and white. Look at Somnul rațiunii naște monștrii, where sleep literally births creatures—owls and shadowy figures—from a sleeping figure’s mind. The title, a twist on Goya’s famous line, signals a playful yet dark take on reason giving way to monsters. Tap into the print to see how the artist turns a folk saying into spooky visuals.
