"Shadows and whispers"
By Manuela Holban (Ioanid)
"The mirror is a door through which you can walk into a mysterious world. In another time and other space, ”says Manuela Holban (Ioanid). Four years after the last exhibition in Romania, Manuela Holban (Ioanid) returns again, with an exhibition.
In a permanent relationship with his own internal resorts of transformation, the art of Holban Manule (Ioanid) inspires refinement and sensitivity, strength and fragility.
Plusions of profound personal emotions and experiences, the 30 works in the exhibition, represent a symbol of searching for the inner power, healing, love and truth. Related simultaneously between the past and present, the characters in his paintings sail in the maze of time and space, like the pieces in the chess game, without knowing that someone else dominates and guides their destiny.
Sequences from an endless story!
Essence paintings, in which the imaging archetypes and symbolism of the characters go to essence and synthesis, Manuela Holban (Ioanid) recreates in the simplicity its own style, a world without time, a world in which the deep self aspires towards human knowledge, uniting the features of spirit and soul. in a universe never started and never end.
The magic of the characters, the real and the imaginary of the plastic approach, attract the attention of the beautiful lover through their expressiveness, through the original prospects of the plastic vision on the world, but also through the intelligent attempt to query the self.
Treated by the prism of artistic conceptions related to the sphere of the spiritual, the human figures from the works of Manuela Holban (Ioanid) speak of the utterance of the inner world. Formally, the female face often appears in a decorative, stylized form, in a silent diffuse and chromatic light entourage, in a cold color range, which amplifies the emotional expressivity of the work. The entire chromatic construction of the painting corresponds to the status of the character's detachment to the real world and withdrawal in the depths of his spiritual universe.
"Art does not reproduce the visible, it makes things visible," says Paul Klee.
The exhibition can be visited between September 28, 2022 -15 October 2022, from Monday -Friday, between 14:30 -19: 30.
