my works within the project
I present 2 works on paper made in 2022, "focused seeing form the ... "Gazing at a distant" and "the next situation. ... But there's also the stubbornness" drawn with India ink and watercolor, each one sized 120 x 120 cm.
They are based on screenshots from a video recording I took while re-potting plants on my balcony garden.
The video material is given to Alexandra and Radu Constantinescu for further manipulations and additions, in an artistic collaboration similar with the one we did for the animation "Acqua Alta" ( 2021 ) .

A Survey of Romanian Art in 180 Works”), MNAC has begun touring selections from this fund under the title “PULS 20” (Kunsthalle Bega, 2021; Craiova Art Museum, 2022). As part of this broad approach to presenting the collection in partner institutions in Romania, the exhibition hosted by the Craiova Art Museum presents a concentrated overview of the 2020 Acquisitions, through the works of 38 contemporary artists and artist groups, representative of the different generations and multiple concerns in artistic production of the last five decades. The dialogues thus created bear witness to the effervescence of the Romanian art scene, in its extremely complex journey, and also offer multiple perspectives on contemporary history as it is outlined through the artistic act. go to project ⮕ |

my works within the project
My contribution consists in developing a large-scale wall drawing out of black self-adhesive vinyl cuttings, around a finished painting, during a time period of several days prior to the opening. Instances of the drawing progressing and additional manipulations of the marks are used to create a stop-motion animation meant to be exhibited in a loop, on a TV screen.
Since my painting depicts a pile of vegetal debris, observed in a niche of my apartment, my concept for the animation is to think of "an imaginary walk in nature", an action in which a human figure performs a motion in a circle. I also reserve the opportunity to be inspired by working on-site, fully trusting the ability of one image to generate another, given an observant individual that is willing to capture it - a role of which I am aware and capable to perform.

With a well-recognized history, the subject matter of "the artist's studio" is still a constant in the practices of many creators. Either it is treated in the traditional academic way, as a genre scene, with scenographic details that indicate the physical space to which the artist links his existence, or it involves self-referential details about the creation, by including “painting-within-a-painting”, or evokes the process of elaboration of the work, the studio reserves the ascendancy of a meta-language, as an instrument of introspection on its own creative approach or a metonymic sign that can substitute - physically or spiritually - for the artist himself.
