Follow the feeling
01Original works
Paintings
Original paintings, made by hand and guided by feeling.
Acrylic, texture, colour, marks and layers — sometimes scraped back, sometimes built up again. I rarely know exactly where a painting will end up when I begin, and I like giving the work the freedom to surprise me.
I often work on several pieces at once, moving between ideas and allowing each painting to develop in its own direction. Different combinations of materials, techniques and decisions give each piece its own character.
Every original is a unique expression, handmade and signed by Hoza.

Behind the Work
Painting has always been close to my heart.
It has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, from studying fine art in Transylvania to exploring experimental art and design in Madrid. Those experiences shaped the way I approach creativity today — with an open mind, a willingness to experiment and a belief that there is always something new to discover through making.
My work moves between original paintings, mixed-media pieces, handmade creations and creative experiments. I’m drawn to colour, texture, layers and materials, and I enjoy seeing what happens when different ideas and techniques come together. Sometimes I begin with a clear idea. Sometimes I begin with nothing more than a feeling.
I don't believe everything has to be perfectly planned or perfectly executed. Some of the most interesting parts of a work can appear when things change direction, when a material behaves unexpectedly, or when an imperfect mark becomes exactly what the piece needed.
I paint, I experiment, I learn — and I keep going.
At the heart of OBRAS is that journey: following the feeling, staying open to new ideas and creating work with its own character and soul.
There isn't one neat formula behind the work.
And honestly, I don't think there needs to be.
That's part of the fun.
— Petru E. Hoza
03Art for more spaces
Fine Art Prints
Bring the work into your space in another way.
Fine Art Prints are reproductions of selected original paintings by Hoza — a more accessible way to bring the OBRAS world into more spaces.
Each print is made to order and available in a range of sizes.
Please note: Fine Art Prints are supplied as the print only — unframed and rolled in a protective tube. Frames shown in photographs are for illustration only.
04Made by hand
Creations
Handmade pieces, experiments and useful little things that didn't want to stay paintings.
I like moving between materials and making things with my hands — from plaster candle holders and decorative pieces to mixed-media experiments. Some start with a clear idea, while others take shape as I work.
A small selection is shown here, and the collection changes as new things are made.

06Studio
Come Into the Studio
This is where things get started — and where they sometimes take an unexpected turn.
Paintings in progress, layers of colour, experiments, materials, half-finished ideas and the occasional complete mess.
I like seeing where a piece goes rather than deciding everything before I begin — some things work, some don't, and that's all part of the process.
