Toma Poienaru is a Byzantine icon painting artist. 19 works are cataloged here, principally at Alba Iulia Orthodox Archdiocese.

Toma Poienaru painted Christian religious scenes at a time when drawing and painting on paper were common for devotional prints. His 1866 drawing Iisus Hristos Mare Arhiereu și Învățător shows Christ in priestly robes, and the bundle includes five works on paper titled for apostles such as Sf. Apostol Simon and Sf. Apostol Bartolomeu. These images were likely made for local churches or private devotion. Explore the full set to see how he rendered halos, faces, and folds in simple line and wash.
