Born in 1962 in Transylvania, Romania, Iosif trained at Ion Andreescu Art University. His early impressionistic landscapes evolved into semi-abstract and abstract impressionist works, reflecting his native region’s rural imagery. After 1989, he exhibited widely across Europe and beyond. Since relocating to Canada in 2004, Iosif continues to explore memory and place through layered abstraction. He is represented by Koyman Galleries in Ottawa.
