He moved to Bucharest, the capital of the Romanian Old Kingdom, in search of a social and literary position; from 1892 to 1893, he worked as an accountant at the . He won the admiration and support of Titu Maiorescu, who brought him to the attention of both contemporaries and posterity. In 1893, Maiorescu published his most representative verses and short stories (such as "În lume" and "După un an de jale") in Convorbiri Literare. He also wrote the preface to Popovici's only published book, which arrived posthumously, the 1895 short story collection Din viața meseriașilor. It was also Maiorescu who gave him the name Bănățeanul. Popovici sometimes used the pen names Niță de la Lugoj and Oreste. Working from German texts, he translated Henrik Ibsen, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson and Ivan Turgenev. Afflicted by lung disease, he returned to Lugoj to die at home; his premature death cut short what appeared to be a promising career. (en)
