Andrei Fărcășanu is a Romanian photographer based in Barcelona, Spain. He works with black and white analog photography and alternative darkroom techniques – handmade small-format prints. His work is focussed on intimate pictorial photography, used as a way to investigate the subtle details of everyday life.
Through this minimalist photography, the reduced size of the works, and the fact that the artist transforms the photos into unique and singular objects, the viewer – in order to understand the message – needs to approach them closely and study their details, and in so doing slow down the rhythm of modern life.
A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts at the National University of Arts in Bucharest, majoring in Painting (2003), Andrei Fărcășanu holds a Masters degree in Photography and Live arts (2005) and a PhD in Photography with a thesis on Social Photography (2013).
In recent years, he has won various photography awards and prizes: 2023 Honorable Mention Winner – Tokyo International Photography Awards, 2022 Finalist InCadaques Photography Festival, 2020 Winner OpenWalls British Journal of Photography Award, 2020 Finalist Vila Casas Photography Prize, 2016 Winner Barcelona International Photography Awards, 2015 Winner Joan Cabanas Alibau Photography Prize.
Since 1999 he has participated in exhibitions in France, Spain, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Greece.
His work is collected by institutions and private collectors world-wide.
