This black and white abstract geometry series is presenting a dialogue with the elements of perceptions and space. I like to use as a starting point the elements already created in our reality, fragments of nature or made by human hand. I like to restructure the images I am taking, by altering the angles and relative lengths, joining structures or spatial symbols into a combined representation of matter, just as I like to reorganise my thoughts, in order to be able to consciously change my interpretation, or better say my perception and while doing so I add new forms or perspectives to each thought. Inspired by London’s brutalist architecture by buildings such as The National Theatre, Barbican Centre, Hayward Gallery, and Tate Modern, I have deconstructed and altered the reality in order to obtain abstract geometric images, since by definition the abstract thinking involves a mental process and an abstract object does not exist in time or space, but rather exists as a thought, as an idea. I use art in a reversed process of creation. I believe thought forms what our eyes can see, so I take what was already created by the thought of another and I try to place it back into what is known forever in the mind. In no way shape or form have I intended to create an optical abstract work; I did, however, intend to present at least two perspectives, two points of view in each artwork since in everything we are doing in our Earthly lives we have at least two points of view and it is entirely up to us to consciously chose one or another at any given moment. All the inner voices that we hear are merely choices that we are presenting to ourselves, then you get to choose from them. It is always up to us to choose. We can always choose who we want to be or who we know ourselves to be, rather than what timing or circumstances or even others dictate. Beginning to exercise choice consciously is perhaps the only thing, that if we embrace and begin to express, will immediately and fully transform our entire reality. When we maintain the consistency of what we have decided, when we choose who we are, and then continue to decide "this is who I am," then we create a continuity, then we create the foundation through which we can begin to see the changes in our reality, see the changes in our lives through the eyes of the decision.

London based artist Cristian Stefanescu was born in 1968 in Bucharest. He obtained an MSc degree in 1992 at the Technical University of Construction Bucharest, specialisation in Water and Wastewater Treatment followed by the second MSc in 1994 obtained at University of Liège, specialisation in Groundwater Engineering. After having spent more than a decade of his life teaching at the Technical University of Construction Bucharest, Cristian moved from academia to Information Technology holding various senior management positions in multinational companies in Europe and subsequently he moved to entrepreneurship and created his own IT outsourcing company which soon became one of the prominent companies in the field in Romania. Ultimately, in 2018, together with his wife, the painter Anca Stefanescu, they burned all the bridges and moved to London where they opened their own art studio, dedicating their time entirely to art. In his abstract series, Stefanescu uses the photographs to deconstruct and alter reality in order to obtain abstract images, since by definition the abstract thinking encompasses a mental process and an abstract object does not exist in time or space, but rather exists as a thought, as an idea. “I sometimes use art in a reversed process of creation. I believe thought forms what our eyes can see, so I take what was already created by the thought of another and I try to place it back into what is known forever in the mind” he has said. Always fascinated by emotions and ideas Stefanescu is constantly seeking ways to communicate and to challenge beliefs, concepts and thoughts through every artwork. While his art transpires in a constant dialogue with the elements of perceptions, philosophies and feelings in a monochrome exploration into the psychological and metaphysical worlds he aims to facilitate the viewers in our society to see reflected back to them the opportunity to choose the blending of the polarities of so called positive and negative or male and female since “through this marriage there is not the loss of the individuality, but rather the celebration and rejoicing of oneness”. Stefanescu believes that “expressing ourselves in this world encompasses our interaction with the world.
