Mircea Cantor (born 1977) is a visual artist who has received wide acclaim for his subtle commentary on issues of contemporary society. This includes, on a larger scale, the positives and negatives of globalization. On a more specific scale, this includes characteristics of Romanian folk traditions such as with his photograph "'Hiatus"' (2008) which presents scaled-up version of traditional wool spindle or his other monumental work the "'Arch of triumph"' (2008).
