Nelu Gradeanu – Biography

I was born on April 16, 1969, in a small town in Romania called Barlad, Vaslui County. I have graduated from College “Gheorghe Rosca Codreanu”, in the same town. Afterwards I specialized myself over several years, in mural painting and restoration, within the Monumental Painting School of the Romanian Patriarchy, under the guidance of the illustrious professors Vasile Caraman and Gheorghe Raducanu. I have also graduated from the Faculty of Psychology in Bucharest. I am currently leading the Cultural Association "Light of Light" and I am also a founding member of the Association “Buna ziua, copii din Romania!”/ „Bun? Ziua, Kinderen in Roemenië” Netherlands-Romania. Below are a few highlights of my work:

1999-2005 –  I became collaborator and accredited painter of Bishop Ioachim Mare? of Husi

Within these exhibitions persons like PS Ioachim of Husi, Priest Constantin Galeriu, Valentin Ciuca, Gh.AM Ciobanu, DN Zaharia, Gheorghe Raducanu or Archimandrite Mina Domzeu held a speech.
