If you like surreal paintings
there’s a good chance you’ll like Adrian Borda’s work. His oil painted canvases
are beautiful and full of details and hidden meanings. 

Adrian was born and
raised in Romania. He lives in a small city called Reghin. He says it’s a
perfect setting to explore your inner world because the city doesn’t really
have a social life. He always liked painting but started taking it seriously in
high school. He then proceeded to get a degree in Fine Arts.

Ardian’s Instagram account where he showcases his art has raked up 18K followers to date. It might not seem like a lot, but despite that his art is popular and he’s had personal and group exhibitions of his works in Romania and the Netherlands. He also sells his works and quite a few of them now reside n private collections in United States, Hungary, Canada, France, Switzerland, Japan, United Kingdom, Netherland, Belgium, Greece.

1. Sadness Is My Single Fortune

What a beautifully
heartbreaking idea. What does it make you think of? Should you treasure every
tear you shed and wear it as a badge of honor and a reminder of things that
only made you stronger in the long run?

2. Planets

Sometimes we feel so
small in a world that’s so big, but Adrian really plays with that idea and
reverses the meaning by making planets small enough to wear as jewellery.

3. Nightingale And The Rose

Look into those eyes.
You can see so much in them. Who is that person looking back at you?

4. Flowers From Exile

Such a touching and
autumnal painting. Is it a story of lost love? Or that nostalgia over a past
romance?

5. You’ll Never Melt Again On Me

This could’ve been a
simple image of a girl and a snowflake, but the tears in her eyes tell a
different story.

6. Intensity

Notice the musical instrument in the girl’s hands. And the image of a conductor in her eyes. Does it make you think about the struggles of music school or about the intensity with which music can make us feel?
