Presecan's Soul Touch

My latest video, inspired by the music of Maurice Ravel, about nature and painting together as one - "Water and Color Games". Enjoy! Water and Color Games from Presecan on Vimeo .

Some of my most recent works will be displayed at St'art Art Fair, through Danaart Gallery from Bucharest. Central and Eastern Europe is the theme for Strasbourg's 13th Contemporary Art Fair which takes places at the Wacken exhibition centre. The event gives visitors the opportunity to experience the rich cultural heritage of these countries along with current creative trends. The art fair is recognised as the second biggest event of its kind in France and prides itself on being accessible to both novices and experienced art lovers.

Nowadays in Romania, when politicians are like hunting dogs (because we have the presidential elections), I found a special place. I found normality in a small province town called Turda. Today I visited Ratiu Foundation and I spoke to Indrei Ratiu (son of the memorable Romanian politician Ion Ratiu) about their activity. I found the same sane working atmosphere as in Soros Foundation fifteen years ago.
