Șerban Savu

b. 1978 Sighișoara, Mureș

Painter of quiet, socialist-realist-tinged scenes of post-communist leisure and work.

Savu paints small figures in vast landscapes and housing estates — workers, holidaymakers, wanderers — in a cool, classical style that borrows from socialist realism. A Cluj School painter, he represented Romania at the 2024 Venice Biennale.
