# Disappearing People Depictions Dan Voinea Paints Images of Subjects Passing Through Objects By Jason Soy | Published 2012-05-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dan-voinea References: [booooooom](http://www.booooooom.com/2012/05/14/artist-painter-dan-voinea/) & [danvoineagallery.blogspot](http://danvoineagallery.blogspot.ca/) There isn’t a shortage of [surreal imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery) in the art community, but these Dan Voinea contributions are certainly welcomed. Painting abstract scenes of people seemingly disappearing or phasing through objects, Voinea is a master of presenting otherworldly visuals in a rendering style that fuses realism with impressionism. His concepts always come out of left field, resulting in images that are highly narrative and worth extensive examination. Dan Voinea is currently based in Bucuresti, Romania, where he works as an accomplished art director. He primarily uses [oil paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti) on linen canvases to produce these surreal masterpieces and is quite prolific. Personally, I enjoy how his work is subtle in its oddity rather than overtly emphasizing its own abstractions. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Surreal Imagery:** Exploring the use of surreal imagery in art and design to create captivating narratives. - **Realism-impressionism Fusion:** Blending realism and impressionism to create visually striking and thought-provoking artworks. - **Narrative Art:** Using art to tell stories and engage viewers in an interactive and immersive experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for artists and designers to incorporate surreal imagery into their works to captivate audiences and evoke emotions. - **Fine Art:** Potential for artists and galleries to explore the fusion of realism and impressionism to create unique and one-of-a-kind paintings. - **Experiential Marketing:** Incorporating narrative art into marketing campaigns to create memorable and immersive brand experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Otherwordly Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/william-monk.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Mesmerizing Sculpture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mesmerizing-sculpture.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Human Duality-Themed Abstract Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passive-aggression.md) - [Oil Painting-Inspired Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antonio-santn.md) - [Fluid Function Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow.md)
