Solo show at the Cluj Art Museum, April 2015
The birth of my son was a very important moment in my life: everything was reborn for me and got new meanings, another dimension. I have discovered the river in its greatness and beauty. The resonance of silence, the beauty of the landscapes of my wanderings along the river and mountain waters led me to capture in painting the images of rapid or mild streams, they made me think of harmony and atemporality. Because of its sacred meaning (water is the symbol of life and death or immortality), the river remains a purifying and regenerative element. I have tried to express this idea through the filter of my soul enclined towards natural beauty. I have depicted impressions, aquatic or aerial elements, details, the water reflections in a first series of paintings starting with 2011 and have continued until 2013. This process led me to the exhibit titled “August Dream”, and continued with the “Magic River” and the present exhibit “In the Name of the River”. In the present exhibit “In the Name of the River” I have focused on the aquatic abstract elements, those of shape and color playing on the beautiful skin of the trout, the “king of the river”.
The exhibit “In the Name of the River” is intended as a connective bridge between the material and spiritual worlds; it is an advocacy effort for the possible spiritual renewal of mankind.
