Nicol Vacaru

Nicol Vacaru works primarily in ink on paper, creating compositions that explore the delicate interplay of light and shadow, stillness and emergence. Through fluid, deliberate lines and minimal contrasts, her pieces become quiet landscapes of the inner self—spaces where memory, emotion, and identity unfold softly yet with quiet resolve.

Her process is meditative and intentional: each stroke is both a gesture of reconciliation and an affirmation of presence. The layered tension of ink builds depth without overwhelming, inviting viewers into moments of calm reflection and luminous introspection. Themes of inner peace, silent strength, and healing are woven into the work, offering a gentle dialogue between what is seen and what is felt.

Guided by a poetic sensibility and informed by architectural awareness, Nicol’s ink art transforms minimal means into visual narratives—inviting collectors to discover serenity in simplicity and to connect with the subtle, enduring light within.

I studied at the Art School in Orhei between 2000-2003, where I developed a strong foundation in fine arts. Later, between 2006-2013, I pursued architecture at the Technical University of Moldova, Faculty of Urbanism and Architecture. This background deeply influences my artistic vision, blending structural precision with expressive creativity.
