Toma Poienaru is a Byzantine icon painting artist. 20 works are cataloged here, principally at Alba Iulia Orthodox Archdiocese.
Toma Poienaru painted Christian religious scenes at a time when drawing and painting on paper were common for devotional prints. His 1866 drawing Iisus Hristos Mare Arhiereu și Învățător shows Christ in priestly robes, and the bundle includes five works on paper titled for apostles such as Sf. Apostol Simon and Sf.
