The central focus of her research is the relationship between domestic space and inner transformations — the way dwelling, with its repetitions and variations, influences her working processes and artistic perception. Since settling in Botoșani in 2015, Micu has shaped her living and working environment into a unified space. The studio, dwelling, and the indoor balcony garden function as interdependent elements of a carefully managed system in which daily observation and the rhythm of work form parts of the same structure. This organization has led to a methodical practice grounded in attentive observation of how plants respond to light, temperature, or human presence, as well as a continuous analysis of the relation between her own presence and the surrounding environment. Her working process often begins with photographic documentation of fragments of her apartment’s interior. These images are later reconstructed in painting, subtly altered in terms of luminosity, color palette, or compositional tensions. The final representation is not an attempt to reproduce the real, but a reformulation of it — one in which memory, perception, and interpretation combine to create a new form of visual presence. go to project ⮕ |
