Promenade des Anglais, Nice / oil on canvas / 100 x 100 cm / 2009
There are times which “catch” you, there are landscapes which „enchant” you and atmospheres which “embrace” you in a way which reveals long forgotten memories… such times are summer, the Mediterranean landscape and the atmosphere of the French Riviera. They all meet at this beginning of autumn in Cluj, in my simple “new paintings” or Mediterranean impressions. I can say, without emphasis, that the encounter of these three marks has made me incline towards colour beatitude and the rediscovery of emotions felt long ago. The postimpressionist landscape through the Cezannian example, the fauvism with its lyrical Dufy and tenor Matisse, the joy of life from Renoir and Bonnard’s coloured palette, together with the felt and seen blue, which veils you from everywhere, all these constitute the base of my new paintings. Three elements of the landscape become central through their repetition: the blue of the sea, the red-pink flowers of oleander and the palm tree leaves. I think all three are representative to sketch the atmosphere of those places, which cannot stop surrounding you once seen. This exhibition becomes a small station in an aquatic route, started even from the Danube Delta the last few years, from where I still show sketches and chromatic exercises, that I deliberately associate, especially to illustrate these two aquatic universes resembling in essence, but still so different.
The reflections of the reeds and water lilies on the water surface, together with the vegetal element on the blue-green of the sea.
An invitation to painting, I am waiting for you!
Opening day the 14th of September '09, between 5-8 pm
Delta, Reflections on water / oil on canvas / 50 x 30 cm / 2009
Sunt timpuri care te "prind", sunt peisaje care te "incanta" si atmosfere care te "cuprind" intr-un mod care iti trezeste amintiri de mult uitate... astfel de timpuri sunt vara, peisajul mediteraneean si atmosfera rivierei franceze. Toate isi dau intalnire, in acest inceput de toamna clujean, in ale mele simple "noi picturi" sau impresii mediteraneene. Fara emfaza pot spune ca intalnirea cu aceste trei repere m-a aplecat inspre o beatitudine a culorii si a redescoperirii unor emotii demult simtite. Peisajul postimpresionist prin exemplul cezannian, fovismul cu al sau liric Dufy si tenor Matisse, bucuria vietii din paleta coloristica al lui Renoir si Bonnard impreuna cu albastrul simtit si vazut, care te invaluie din toate partile, toate acestea constituie baza noilor mele picturi. Trei elemente din peisaj devin centrale prin repetitia lor: albastrul marii, florile rosii-roz de leandru si frunzele de palmier. Toate trei consider ca sunt reprezentative pentru a creiona atmosfera acelor locuri, care nu pot sa nu te invaluie odata privite. Aceasta expozitie devine o mica statie dintr-un parcurs acvatic inceput inca din Delta Dunarii in anii trecuti, din care mai prezint si acum schite si exercitii cromatice, pe care voit le alatur tocmai pentru a ilustra aceste doua universuri acvatice in esenta asemanatoare, dar totusi atat de diferite. Reflexiile trestiilor si nuferilor pe suprafata apei, alaturi de elementul vegetal pe albastrul-verzui al marii. O invitatie la pictura, va astept!
