Adriana Florea Baloiu

Starting with a state of constant contemplation upon human mind and behavior mixed with playful, but satirical point of view, my work illustrates stereotypes such as absurdism, superficiality, mass thinking, historical obedience, mindless conformity as portrayal of society, pointing to nonsense, deviation and contradiction. My paintings merge gestural dynamic surfaces of modernism aesthetics, narrating the illusion of movement with abstract geometric patterns, grids and shapes following the idea of deconstructing the past, breaking the flow of the unchangeable change, in a cohesive dialogue. By the constant spinning between chaos and control, the poetic use of colors diverging free gesture, pictorial space with spongy lines and soft repetitive patterns, my visual discourse emphasizes the importance of spontaneity within the artistic method.
Mediums of visual exploration include painting, photography, collage, object, installation and digital media.
