Studio Visit: Bogdan Dinu

Bogdan Dinu was our guest in the Salzamt already last year. This was, unfortunately, when the big flood devastated our house and spoilt Bogdans stay. Thís was why he had to leave earlier than planned and was invited a second time to get the chance to complete his mission.

Bogdan is a Romanian painter who is working in a classical style, i.e. acrylic and canvas. His topics are related to his life and his environment.
