His installations are designed by combining everyday objects from his childhood with nostalgic and ironic elements.

I am ORHAN, a contemporary artist, with roots between Bucharest and London.My art does not seek comfort—it seeks confrontation. I don’t paint to beautify the world, but to expose its wounds. I speak about war, corruption, manipulation, and freedoms stolen by force.My characters are neither saviors nor victims. They are lucid witnesses of a world slipping into darkness. Red is everywhere—it’s blood, it’s complicity, it’s the silence that kills.I don’t create art to be liked. I create art to hurt. To shake. To awaken.
