Stefan Botez (1983) is an artist working preponderantly with photography and video, exploring the various ways of creating and manipulating image. He finished his studies in Architecture at the Ion Mincu University of Architecture and Urbanism, Bucharest, Romania. Afterwards he continued studying visual arts, being part of the one year postgraduate program ALPes at the Geneva University of Art and Design. Program focused on the implementation of art practices in public space. During this year Stefan Botez developed a trilogy that explores intimacy and its relation with public space, through various mediums, from photographic image to drawing and text. One of the three projects Mi-e dor de tine/I miss you was selected for the 2011 Desire is War exhibition at the Brukenthal National Museum of Art, Sibiu, Romania.
Some of his early work was shown in London at the Westbourne Studios (2007), SULUV gallery in Novi Sad, Serbia (2007), Okuparte Festival, Huesca, Spain (2004). In the last years he collaborated closely with the art/fashion collective Rozalb de Mura, which introduced him to Loredana Groza, for which he did live visuals during her Sundance tour.
