Predominantly working in oil paint or mixed techniques on canvas, Adrian İurco depicts mostly solitary portraits surprised in moments of introspection, contemplation, or pure silence when the only "noise" is given by the light that touches them.

Fascinated by the human psychology and its condition, he explores it and its inside hidden corners. Those “hidden corners” are represented not only through the visible shape of a portrait, sometimes depicted in an almost classical approach, but also in a more abstract way, by personalization of the soul into elements that compose the artwork itself.

For him, those elements are a puzzle, that by solving it, might lead to a revelation or, depending on the case, to an intriguing case that is never solved. His body of work carries an obsessive presence of melancholy, in a sense pointed out to the contemporary human being, increasing the drama of his creation, and suggesting the crisis of the contemporary society in its beautiful dramatic complexity.

The atmosphere and the composition of his artworks come closer to a scenographical closed context, more than to a natural open one, as the mind and the spirit that fly even beyond the horizons are still trapped in one’s body cage, while the soul gets trapped in its own perishable carcass of Meat. Through the characteristics of the psycho-realism of his art, the artist tries to create a bond between the visible and the unseen portrait of his characters as individuals, but also in resonance with a specific context - in this case the contemporary society.

As a result, Adrian İurco’s paintings end up having a surreal atmosphere, in which its elements merge into a symbiotic relationship, reconfiguring realities. Through his artistic approach, Iurco tries to question these realities and to bring to the viewer these different universes, to suggest an analysis of different themes or situations, from different angles and sensual or visual perspectives, possibly for a better and more meaningful understanding of them. His visual stories are probably our own stories, as well.
