Romania's capital city, Bucharest, displays an elegant past that, after 40 years of communism and corruption, is now reaching levels of decay that may defy renovation. Over the past ten years, I have tried to create a parallel between the image of Princess Brianna Caradja, whose aristocratic family was driven out of Romania by politics, and of the capital city that is crumbling both physically and socially. With my journalistic background, I attempt to mirror the forgotten, ignored grandeur of both the physical and social institutions of my homeland.

Photographic series
Completed Series – 11 works
Launched in 2025, and selected for the 2025 Fronteras Fotofest, Argentina
Paths of Life is a digital photography series by Bogdan Mihai exploring how human experience mirrors patterns in nature. Layered tree branches and organic forms suggest branching paths, energy, and connection. Circular stone-like shapes appear throughout, symbolizing balance and presence. Together, these elements invite reflection on direction, growth, and the quiet links between people and the natural world.
Each work is part of an edition of 15, available up to 30 x 40 inches (rectangular) or 36 x 36 inches (square). Please contact the artist for pricing and availability.
