Teli Iacsa

I was born in 1976 in Bucharest, Romania and I started to craft and paint as a child. I learned about the glass painting technique at the Popular Art School of Bucharest, in 2003. My third glass painting was awarded at a national icon contest: “Rugamu-ne tie”. Soon after that I started to experiment different themes and mixed media on glass.

After more than 20 years of work, I came up with my first series of glass painting - called “T.I.!” - as my signature (acronym that stands for “I love you!” in my language, as well as for my name). The series was depicting people, places and things I love (like family, loved ones, Paris, Greece, chocolate, creative activities, little things)

My first solo exhibition was at the Military Circle Palace of Bucharest (Palatul Cercului Militar) in 2012, followed by the second one in 2013. The second series, called “The flying weathervane” (“Girueta zburatoare”) was telling stories about people, places, things I was missing while I was living far from my country. Naturally the 3rd one should be about future, about hopes and dreams, about fantasies.

(Starting with 2010 some of my paintings were also participating in group-exhibitions, most of them being now in private collections.)
