Ion Popescu-Negreni

Ion Popescu-Negreni spent his days sketching the gritty edges of Bucharest’s rivers. He’d sit for hours along the Colentina, notebook in hand, watching bargemen and stray dogs share the same shoreline. The prints he pulled back in his studio crackle with that exact tension—inky water meets lived-in streets. Try his Colentina la Plumbuita for a slice of Bucharest that still feels like a half-remembered walk home.
