About The Artwork

Bones of nostalgia is an installation exhibited in 2019 in my solo show "Somewhere near the fake future" in Bucharest, at Go Contemporary Gallery, curated by Ioana Mitu. "We find ourselves in an unknown time frame, almost in the future, not there yet, but not quite in the present either. On a suspended net woven from memories. The past is the only constant, ubiquitous and almost integrated. We won’t say Adinuța has grown up or that she has evolved, we will only state that she has moved on, to a point where her answer to the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" is "I just want to be.[......] An attempt to recover balance and align? Just as the stars in the sky seemingly align as the Big Dipper. What an illusion, because the stars are aligned only when seen from Earth. And where do you stop when drawing an infinite universe? Adriana says that her work never ends and yet she accepts, submits and exposes herself."There is an obvious duality in all my projects, I find myself in between submissive observation and resignation, when it comes to collective reality, but also caught in between my own limitations and dreams, illusions, attempt to escape, hope and playing games for the sake of playing, a duality, in general terms, between affect and intellect, reason and feeling, between chaos and order. (Adriana Florea Baloiu) " Curator Ioana Mitu

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.
