CASSIOPEIA Print

Viantty (Ioana Pop) is a mixed media self-taught artist. The technique for her artwork is a mixture of combined paintings and collage creativity, which are a mix of different objects on a painted surface, creating a type of three-dimensional collage. The artwork which results in a combination, mixed in different acrylic colors, natural fibers, leaves, dried flowers, metal, stones, glass and whatever else she may find of value laying around her workshop that gives her inspiration. Whether it is made simply out of passion, or a lack of something better to do, or because it is just a job, collage can have a certain type of quality, that is, if it is made with taste and it respects a few rules or techniques, that do nothing but help to give a well-rounded image making sure that it does not make it appear kitsch. Original paintings “Viantty” may be considered as art and modern design. The artwork following the current trend is executed on canvas with acrylic colors on a single diptych, triptych with mixed medium. Seasoned works of art, offer a new perspective in painting, with components lumped and shaped together to enrich the artwork. Thus the relationship between painting and collage is re-examined, due to the fact that you often get a work in relief, even three-dimensional, a starting point for another generation of mixed-media art. Realized on an abstract or decorative basis, the artist is able to give the piece a certain level of attractiveness and ingenuity to transmit something, to appeal to a person’s conscience and imagination, to take a stand, or to evoke a certain idea. Quoting Picasso, “There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.”, so artists are figurative in the morning, in the afternoon are surrealists and abstract in the evening, and for this you need a large effort to express media, indifferent of how much talent you have. The works of art, are displayed at different expositions and fairs, organized by several organizations, in and outside the country, the majority of the paintings can be found in the homes of their admirers. All the paintings are created to blend with modern art, the artist uses the best quality materials for a quality finish. The pieces are covered in lacquer to protect the color for a longer period of time and also the durability against room temperature changes.
