Illusion of the self no2 Painting

I am a Ph.D. student in arts in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, where I grew up. My artistic practice has been highly influenced by international but also Romanian modern and contemporary artists. It made me more curious about the transition between figurative and abstract painting. My efforts tended towards abstraction of form, mainly unity of form in visual manifestations and understanding of the principles that govern our construction of form that arise from our perception of space. In my research, I've been developing my perception faculties, such as seeing and resolving the relationship between tridimensional form and its psychological appearance and their consequences in artistic representation. Artistic contemporary practice made me shy away from basing my work solely on the functional or dramatic relationship of the parts constituting the work of art (mentioning here the pastiche, the parody, the imitative art, or art that relates only to the represented object). It made me move towards the unity of functional values as a unity of spacial values - to clarify natural sources of inspiration and express a living, self-sufficient content.
