His main profession was that of a public clerk in the Romanian Ministry of Culture starting from 1920. The financial stability provided by his job was decisive for the start of his artistic career.

Viorescu chose pointillism for the main form of artistic expression but with a reinterpretation it his own personal painting style.

Viorescu approached landscape, interiors, still lifes , these styles defined him as master painter in the Romanian Interbelic era. Of all the topics, the most preferred were compositions which are remarked by the interior atmosphere created that are typical and unmistakable of his own style.[1]
