Anca Popescu

When I am painting, I create a new world that helps me live and brings me joy. I love figurative art.
Painting always brings new emotions and I like exploring abstract scenarios. My style is defined by oil on canvas.
I find inspiration on human body, reinterpreted art and unsaved memories.
My preferred themes are based on cinema stories, religion ( I find it challenging and provocative) and social issues.
For me, art is therapeutic,
technical skills blend with the soul’s need to
express inner doubts and torments through
painting. In this sense, art is cathartic, not only
for the author who calms his anxieties with it
but also for the viewer who can find hope and
balance through the paintings.
When we are unable to express how much we
have inside, art comes to our aid by making visible
the pain we hide. Works of art shape our
deepest emotions.
