Emilian Pospaii s-a născut în Pucioasa, România, unde a dezvoltat un interes timpuriu pentru poezie și natură, observând îndeaproape proiectele familiei sale. A fost încurajat de cărțile protestante ale bunicii sale, de experimentele în caligrafie ale bunicului său și de afinitatea mamei sale pentru amenajarea spațiului. 

A studiat designul și strategiile vestimentare (Master 2011-2013) iar în prezent este doctorand al Universității Naționale de Arte din București.

Practica sa cuprinde poezia, editarea cărților cu grafică proprie, ilustrațiile în tuș, ceramica din lut decantat și tapiseriile, în timp ce instalațiile sale sunt adesea compuse atât din lucrări originale, cât și din obiecte reevaluate.

Emilian Pospaii was born in Pucioasa, Romania where he developed an early interest in poetry and nature, closely observing his family’s projects. He was encouraged by his grandmother’s protestant books, his grandfather’s experiments in calligraphy and his mother’s affinity for landscaping. 

Emilian Pospaii studied Costume Design and Strategies at the National University of Arts (MA, 2011–2013) and is now developing a doctoral thesis exploring the reform of the austere costume.

His practice encompasses poetry, publishing and illustration, drawing, decanted clay ceramics and tapestry, while his installations are often comprised of both original work and reevaluated objects.
