A church and icon painter, Grigore Popescu creates with means of his own a manner of painting which, although follows the Byzantine tradition, is strongly marked by originality. Sober, precise, picturesque, full of poetry and elegance, his style overcomes the classic formulas, being inscribed in a fascinating pictorial form. His spirit transcends substance with a vivid joy which the artist himself feels and confers to his painting making use of the bright harmony of the colours, of their warmth, of the elegance of the movements and balance, of an absolute knowledge of the fresco technique of painting.
