plant

According to Victor Hagea, he uses the means of traditional painting, both stylistically and technically. Conceptually, he partly goes in the direction of surrealism (or fantastic realism), but wants to separate himself from the “foggy fields of a certain kind of alienation from reality [...]”. Hagea does not count himself among the trompe-l'œil "ists", since he only uses this type of illusionistic painting as one means among many others.
