Marcel Muntyanu is a Los Angeles-based digital artist who prioritizes aesthetic appeal over meaning, working across digital readymades, fairy tales, and surrealism. His practice also spans novels and short surreal stories, exploring artificial creation methods and the conceptual interaction between digital objects.
Muntyanu began writing fairytale-inspired surreal stories with unexpected endings, winning contests in city newspapers. During university he kept detailed records of moments spent with friends, from sunrises to numbered lighters, a habit he says deeply influenced his love for art. After living through the coronavirus pandemic and war, and moving between countries, he settled in Los Angeles, where he found what he calls a renewed sense of beauty and purpose in aesthetics.
