Done Stan is not an illustrator I grew up with, but the kind of illustrator one doesn't need a childhood history to fall in love with his wonderful characters, his great sense of colour and humor, his never stand still images. Do take a ride with Done Stan no matter what age you are. What a sunny bright journey you are in for!
Done Stan was born on the Second of December 1937, in Giurgiu. He graduated The Institute of Arts "Nicolae Grigorescu" in Bucharest, in 1964, attending Prof. Vasile Kazar's class. During 1964-1991 he was artistic editor and editorial chief for Tineretului, Ion Creanga, Cartea Romaneasca and Minerva Publishing Houses.
He was part of juries in national and international competitions. Done Stan was book designer for leading national and foreign writers, organizing dozens of personal and collective expozitions and participating in important international fairs too. He received important awards and distinctions and is considered one of the most talented illustrators of Europe.
