WHEN ART MEETS THE ART OF LIVING : The project proposed for this edition of NAG creates an immersive space where design and the plant element harmoniously combine with works of art that contribute through the artistic approach to the process of awareness of the importance of the space in which we live and of sustainability. . If we understand the planet as an organism that includes us all, then our position in nature becomes clear: that of the consciousness of this super-organism and with this position and the responsibility we have towards the Earth. Every day our actions, each of us, matter! THE ART OF NATURAL- DANIEL TUFIS-visual artist, interior designer For those of us who have not realized that the urban universe has stolen a part of their soul, there are artists, and my works are witnesses in color of man's need to surround himself with the pure beauties of the vegetal microcosm. The oil paintings on canvas from the event have a key function, healing the soul and even the body. Since most of the time we are overwhelmed, aware of the problems of the world, I consider a good mood to be an achievement, something worth celebrating! I understand harmony, as a beneficial covering, but also as a cultural protection against the aggressions derived from an increasingly constant and directed ignorance. And besides, without harmony how could we resist, survive and create? It is the substance of spiritual stability! ALIA BAKUTAYAN - visual artist, interior designer. The works exhibited at NAG are part of the personal painting exhibition that took place in 2021 at Palatele Brancovenesti. An exhibition that sensibly renders, through a series of textures, various cutouts from desert, monochrome, arid landscapes, reams of Yemenite memories and visual conglomerates molded directly into the epidermis of the works. Mural sculptures of a pronounced consistency and texture made entirely of recycled materials such as paper and elements that surround us and can be felt with the help of our senses - water, earth, sand, stones, wood, plants. I miss Yemen, I spent my childhood there. My toys were some white stones, perfectly rounded. My soles often felt the hot sand. We lived very close to the sea, the Gulf of Aden, so our frequent walks were on the infinite beach! ANDREEA MURESAN STUDIO, Andreea Mureșan and Raul Frațilă - Interior and garden design One of the best ways to heal the soul is to love nature. Loving nature, spending time with nature, we become aware that we are a significant and responsible part of a whole. It's a theme we explore both in our interior design projects and especially in our landscaping of gardens and outdoor spaces. Oh,DA! - Ileana Răducanu, Luminița Popescu, Ioana Mocanu - Platform, community and design hub. Art is an essential part of all our interior design and lifestyle discussions. We bring together artists, designers, architects, home and business owners, because design is creativity, uniqueness, subjective and honest experience, just like art. THE ART OF COLOR - COLOR WORKSHOP - Mihai Marin - As a color designer, I look at color trends, try to anticipate and explain them, and this cannot be done without a deep understanding of the connection between color and the human psyche. Most of the colors we see around us have a psycho-emotional effect that we only intuit, most often with a reference point in the history of fine arts.
