Manuela Holban

Born in Bucharest, Romania. Since 1987, she lives and works in the United States.My paintings and drawings are reflections of my life's journey, which began in Bucharest, Romania and took me through several cultural and geographical spaces.I have always been fascinated by the human figure as voyager and explorer of time and space. Feeling an emotional connection to the past, I tried in my paintings to depict the visual threads which links the past to the present. Simultaneously rooted in the past and present, the figures in my paintings are traveling between time periods. They are intimately entwined with long ago forgotten names, as if looking in an old mirror. The figures which inhabit my paintings are navigating in the labyrinths of time and space. They are sequences of a never-ending story.
