Alexandru Mohi

Alexandru Mohi’s paintings show stone carvers mid-hammer, their arms blurred in motion. He never chased fame, but stuck to one small studio in Bucharest where the light slanted through the same grimy window for forty years. The real trick? He painted the chips and dust around their feet as carefully as the sculpture itself—so you feel the marble’s grit, not just its gleam. That’s the hook: look up Cioplitorii în piatră and watch how a few dabs of pigment can make you hear the clang of steel on stone.
