Born in Brașov, a historic city in Transylvania, Romania, Ursu developed a deep passion for the visual arts from an early age. His artistic journey began with formal studies in visual arts in Romania, where he honed his skills and nurtured his creative vision. He later moved to Italy to further his education, graduating from the prestigious Academy of Fine Arts in Rome (Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma), where he specialized in painting and earned a degree in visual arts. Ursu’s work is deeply influenced by his background in painting, and this pictorial approach is a defining element of his photography. He often draws on classical elements of art, seamlessly blending them with modern themes and contemporary aesthetics. This fusion creates a unique visual language that is both timeless and cutting-edge, with his use of light and composition adding depth and emotion to each image. His creative process is notably hands-on, treating each photograph with the same care and attention as a painting, ensuring every detail contributes to the final vision. His work has been featured in a number of prominent fashion publications, including :
L’Officiel Italia ,Numéro Switzerland, Numéro NL, Numéro Russia , Vanity Fair Italia, L’Officiel Ukraine, L’Officiel Spain and many more.
Now based in Milan , Italy
