When Ice becomes Fire Painting

Like the life itself my puzzling paintings are born when several fragments burst when put together in a crazy colorful puzzle with layers of meanings and stories to be uncovered. Romanian by birth, I spent more than a decade in Germany working as a medical doctor up to the rank of Oberärztin (i.e. senior specialist or chief resident). A family related relocation to Vienna offered me the possibility to take a sabbatical in order to pursue my other passion/true calling. Fascinated by motion and fluidity, I experimented with fluid art until reaching the right outcome, where the continuous flow of time is captured in my work. As the fluid outcomes of the acrylic pouring cannot be fully controled I could even call my work a team effort. The paint seems to have its own life and will and sometimes follows my lead, but is also reluctant at times to my needs and commands and flows in shapes and nuances that have nothing in common with my original vision. However, together we manage to bring to life small compositions that combine light and shadows, color and randomness, dynamics and moments. I combine these pieces in various ways until reaching the right puzzle. Taken separately they might say nothing, but when finally yet unexpectedly fitted together they give birth to new structures and senses while unveiling unpredictable and yet familiar stories. Like the life itself.
