Darius Hulea, is a Romanian young contemporary artist born in 1987 in Alba Iulia who is specialized in metal sculpture. He graduated the University of Art and Design from Cluj Napoca, Sculpture section, and in 2012 he become member of the Artists Union. In 2013 he won the price “Grigore Bradea”, a distinction given only to the most talented Romanian sculptures. His statues are created 100% manually by him using the welding procedure in order to assemble metal wires to represent metal portraits often fragmented and incomplete. Most of these portraits represent philosophers, writers and historical musicians well known in his country. Darius Hulea captures the spirituality and essence of these great thinkers in his sculptures.

His first major solo exhibition in Bucharest- Romania’s capital city, “Outline”, consisted of metal portraits of people close to Constantin Brancusi, the famous Romanian- French sculptor.

“Mâini jucaușe”/ “Playful hands” Dimensiuni/ Dimensions: Total: 160cm H/ 60cm L/ 40cm l - metal sculpture, Hands: 60cm H/ 60 cm L/ 40 cm l Base: 160H/ 60 cm L/40 cm l/ Mâinile copiilor, care se joacă creeând pasari in zbor pe pereți noapte înainte de culcare sunt semne ale luminii, ale bucuriei. Ele reprezinta de asemenea și mâinile Creatorului. În sculptura lui Darius Hulea, prin mâinile supradimensionate care se împletesc ludic, formând, în pofida materialului greu din care sunt executate, o structură fragilă, aeriană la nivel vizual, poți să intuiești pentru o clipă natura sufletului, materia lui. / The hands the children that play creating flaying birds on the walls before going to bed are the symbols of light, of the joy. They also represent the hands of the Creator. In Darius Hulea's sculpture, through the oversized hands that playfully intertwine, forming, despite the heavy material from which they are executed, a fragile, aerial structure at visual level, you can sense for a moment the nature of the soul, its matter.
