Pavel Curagau was born in Moldova, currently lives and works in Cluj. He works in pastel, pencil, dry-point, etc., but what is interesting, is his technique of drawing on stretched canvas. I asked him about it, and he told me that he uses the side of the charcoal stick, as well as a brush for certain areas. Check out for new works on his blog:
