Resuming his studies, he graduated from this educational institution and obtained his baccalaureate diploma in 1979.[7]

Between 1981 and 1986, he attended the Faculty of Law of the Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca. After obtaining his bachelor's degree in legal sciences, the specialization Law, he held various positions, including the profession of jurisconsult.[9]

Between 2003 and 2004, at the same higher education institution, he participated in a postgraduate professional development course in Civil law and Commercial law.

Between 2004 and 2006, he continued with a master's degree in law (M.L./LL.M), at the Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, "Simion Bărnuțiu" Faculty of Law, and upon completion of these studies he obtained the specialization in Romanian Private Law Institutions.

Starting with the year 1989, he followed his professional career in the Romanian judicial system, holding the position of magistrate-judge, initially at the Mixed Section of the Râmnicu Vâlcea Court (judecătorie), in the judicial panels for criminal law and civil law, until November 1, 1997, and then at the Vâlcea County Tribunal, where he continued to practice as a judge at Civil Section I, until September 3, 2014, the date on which he ceased his judicial activity by retirement.[10]

During the same period, he was affiliated as a member of the professional organization Asociația Magistraților din România (A.M.R.) - Filiala Vâlcea.[11]

In the legal field, he has published studies and specialized articles, some of which are included in the volume 1st International Congress on Foundational Research in Law and Philosophy of Law: Bucharest, 28-29 May 2005,[12] as well as in Revista critică de drept și de filosofia dreptului ("Critical Magazine of Law and the Philosophy of Law"), Vol.2, No.1-2/2005.[13]

Literary-artistic and cultural affiliations

Complementary to his individual literary, artistic, and publishing activities, Dumitru Găleșanu has been associated and collaborated over time, as a member, with various socio-cultural organizations, including: Societatea Literară "Anton Pann" in Ramnicu Valcea,[14] Associazione Culturale "Euterpe" APS in Jesi, and Accademia Internazionale "Il Convivio" in Castiglione di Sicilia.

Literary and philosophical works. Literary debut. Philosophical Poetics

Associated with postmodernism[15] in Romanian literature, as well as with the literary movement of Romanian writers in the 1980s, called the "The 1980s generation" (optzecism) or "The generation in blues jeans" (in Romanian: Generația optzeci/optzecistă, generația în blugi),[16]Dumitru Găleșanu started his creative work in this field back when he was a student and continued during his university studies, managing to create a variety of literary works, including poems and essays, which were published after the Romanian Revolution of 1989.[17]

At the literary debut, that took place in the year 2010, with the publication of the volume of lyrical-philosophical poems Emoții în Multivers, a bilingual Romanian-English edition, the literary criticism reproached him that at sometimes he allows himself to be ''seduced by the marvelous dance of ideas'' and that ''the density of abstractions'' in relation to the Poetic determines that some texts ''transforming into fields of confrontation, often dramatic, between the will to power (into expression!) of the Poetical and that (into abstraction!) of the Philosophical.''[18]

Dumitru Găleșanu became known as a writer and philosophical poet due to his lyrical-philosophical poems[19] with cosmological and metaphysical influences,[20] [21]where he speculated on the latest achievements of contemporary exact sciences, [22]particularly in the cutting-edge fields of modern physics,[23] as well as for his ability to explore existential themes related to being and the meaning of life,[24] but also sensitive human themes such as love and emotional contrasts,[25]as is the case with the poems included in some of his volumes, among which: Emoții în Multivers,[26] Pe corzile luminii [27], Însemnele materiei, [28]Ante*metafizica: antologie lirică, etc.

His literary style is characterized by a unique poetic sensitivity and a certain musical expressiveness,[29] as well as by a particular rhetoric,[30] his writings  being founded on a complex observation of the realities of the surrounding world and human nature.[31] Moreover, the graphic arrangement of the verses in most of his poetic texts is probably related to the special technique of the calligrams [32] of Guillaume Apollinaire, the famous surrealist French poet, author of the book entitled Calligrammes.

Găleșanu's most famous work is Luminile omului: lirica filosofică,[33] a poetic-philosophical volume written in Romanian during the COVID-19 pandemic and published in 2020, whose original version was subsequently translated and published in both English and Italian.
