Purcărea Mircea

Purcărea Mircea is a Naïve art artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at ASTRA National Museum Complex.

Mircea Purcărea painted folk glass paintings that keep old Brașov customs alive. His work on glass shows Mihai Viteazul in royal clothes facing a young turkey-clad man on a decorated parade horse, a scene now seen on local flags first made in 1977. Bright primary colors pop against the black outlines and simple backgrounds. Slide over to see the bold patterns and symbolism that still mark village celebrations today.
