"Happy Hour" is a remarkable handmade ceramic sculpture that combines realism and symbolism to create a captivating narrative. Colored with natural ashes, this thought-provoking piece explores the complexities of human emotions and challenges societal norms.
At first glance, the sculpture portrays the head and bust of a male figure, instantly drawing you into its enigmatic presence. But it is the controversial expression on his face that truly intrigues. With a mixture of conflicting emotions, the sculpture captures the inner turmoil and contradictions that exist within us all.
It challenges us to contemplate the multifaceted nature of human existence and to question the facade of happiness that often permeates our lives. It serves as a reminder that beneath the surface of seemingly content individuals, there may be a world of conflicting emotions and unspoken truths.

A Don Quixote with a distorted head. Battling with the fiction of its own fantasy and who, probably doesn't even notice that they are just battling with a shapeless vision.
The horse is a popular subject in fine art history. It represents vigorous spirit and driving force in life. The fact that the horses head is covered with a voile provokes an interest in what is hidden and what the visible does not show us. This interest can take the form of a decidedly intense feeling, a kind of conflict between the hidden visible and the apparent visible.

The picture is part of the series Soul Representation Surrealism. If the observer observes the details carefully, he can notice that the clouds in the background have a silhouette similar to that of the crocodiles. So the clouds become the stones on which the rabbit can step as part of its journey, and finally the stairs become crocodiles, and as the last step a stone or a hole is visible, which wants to represent the rabbit's cavity in an abstract way. It is abstract, as it is surrounded by dashed lines, thus it is indicated by the geometric solution that if the rabbit jumps into the hole, it is not known exactly what it will find there. The exact meaning, the stairs of fear, can also be interpreted from the title of the picture. So the journey itself is about facing our fears and overcoming them. Also about the quality of fear itself, since our fears are often clouds, illusions, unreal barriers raised by ourselves, this is what the clouds symbolize. Furthermore, the crocodile, as actually terrifying forms, presents the conflict itself, the assumption of our decisions. The rabbit hole symbolizes that if we follow this psychological path, we often find ourselves in a new life situation that we did not expect.

At first glance, the sculpture may appear unremarkable, depicting an everyday individual. But it is in this very simplicity that the true power of "Time to Shine" lies. It serves as a reminder that within every seemingly ordinary person, there is a spark, a talent, or a dream waiting to be unleashed.
The title, "Time to Shine," evokes a sense of opportunity and empowerment. It speaks to the moment when one realizes their own potential and decides to step into the spotlight, embracing their unique gifts and abilities. This sculpture serves as a visual representation of that transformative moment, inspiring viewers to embrace their own journey of self-discovery and self-expression.
"Time to Shine" is a celebration of the extraordinary potential that resides within each of us, waiting to be discovered and shared with the world. It reminds us that no matter how ordinary we may appear, we all have the ability to make a meaningful impact and leave a lasting legacy.

In this dynamic work of art, we see a man, powerlessly falling and a hand reaching out to him.
It all seems like a bad dream, ironically opposed to the title.
His clothing makes us think about a prisoner, maybe finally falling into his last journey?
The hat represents authority and power. Because it usually covers the head, the hat contains thought; therefore, if it is changed, an opinion is changed. In this case it is placed on our prisoner, maybe showing that he lost his power.
The hand reaching out is a premonition to the desire to escape from daily responsibilities.

As part of the "Soul Reflecting Surrealism Series," the artwork "Leafs Climbing Towards the Sky" (55 x 86 cm) captures the vibrant life and movement within nature. Leaves reach skyward, seeking sunlight, while a pair of hand-shaped leaves bend towards the water, seemingly thirsty and longing for warmth. The cloud and its reflection in the water take on the form of a flying figure, emphasizing the interconnectedness and communication that exists in nature. This interplay of endless movement, lightness, and eternal change creates a sense of profound beauty.
These artworks are just glimpses into my exploration of the surreal and symbolic realm, where nature and human experience intertwine, inviting viewers to reflect, question, and appreciate the wonders that surround us.

This artwork depicts the vulnerability of the human soul. The four figures are seemingly floating helplessly in the universe,
It is an expressionist artwork concealed as realism, its features are reinforced by the angles and edges of a deconstructed anatomy.
Number 8 is often associated with prosperity and infinity. In literature, the Chinese epic “Journey to the West” features eight immortals, representing eternal life and boundless wisdom. In art, the “Endless Knot” is a recurring symbol in Tibetan Buddhism, signifying the interconnection of all things and the infinite nature of existence.

The wheel of fortune and a cross with even sides, a sacral symbol.
In this artwork the wheel of fortune is holding a helpless, tortured human being.
It represents an internal conflict from within, which is seemingly bigger than the whole Universe.
The Wheel of Fortune represents what we can't control. Life is constantly moving and we must move with it. Instead of enacting your will, open up your mind to the possibilities beyond your will.

Colored with natural ashes, the sculpture takes on an ethereal quality, evoking a sense of impermanence and introspection. The ashes symbolize the remnants of past efforts and the transformative power of letting go. They remind us that even in moments of burnout, there is potential for growth and renewal.

In Hungary, along the beautiful Danube River, one can witness the graceful presence of cranes. Upon encountering these magnificent creatures, my curiosity was piqued, prompting me to explore their symbolic significance in various cultures. In Japan, the crane holds a special place among a realm of mystical and sacred creatures, symbolizing both good fortune and longevity. According to Japanese folklore, cranes are said to live for a thousand years, embodying a remarkable lifespan. Often referred to as the "bird of happiness," the crane is believed to carry departed souls to paradise, gracefully transporting them on its wings. Additionally, waves have long been regarded as symbols of the gods of the seas. The powerful and undulating patterns of churning waves represent strength and resilience, reminding us of the mighty forces of nature.

Sri Ramakrishna (master of Swami Vivekánanada) in the XIX. is considered one of the greatest saints of 19th century India. Detailed accounts of his eventful life, his devotion to the Mother of God Káli, his divine experiences, the often seemingly strange happenings of his everyday life, his teachings and his students, are left to us, which are summarized in the book titled "The Divine Swan". Reading the book inspired the creation of the painting. In the painting, in the left corner, you can see a crow on its way down. Due to the dark background and the more relaxed pictorial solutions, this part of the image may seem tired and difficult, while the swan turns towards the light, almost a silhouette of light surrounds its figure, it is about to take off. The two birds are twisted together, created from each other, yet they oppose each other. From this, we can conclude the deeper meaning of the image, i.e. that the crow basically symbolizes a difficult life situation, or pain, which can be released through transformation, and can develop into strength and inspiration in a person's life through interpretation.

In Roman mythology, Fortuna is the personification and goddess of luck, fate, and the contingencies of life (Jupiter's first daughter). The meaning of her name: yield, yield, perhaps a Latinized version of the Etruscan Vortumna, which means a girl who turns every year. The symbol of its unpredictability is the wheel of fortune. In the Middle Ages, the wheel of Fortuna symbolized the capricious rotation of human life, following the ancient topos. This is perhaps a name referring to the cycle of life, which culminated in the medieval proverb Bona Rotae (rotating of fate).
The artist's skillful use of blue shades creates a serene and ethereal atmosphere, immersing viewers in a world of tranquility and contemplation. The fluidity of the girl's movements suggests a sense of grace and freedom, as if she is effortlessly navigating the depths of an underwater realm.

This captivating mixed technology painting combines digital and oil painting techniques to create a unique and visually striking self-portrait of the artist. The focal point of the artwork is the artist's face, which is depicted looking up with closed eyes and a serene expression of enjoyment. The artist's face is rendered with a pale complexion, emphasizing a sense of delicacy and vulnerability. Her lips are painted in a vibrant raspberry color, adding a pop of boldness and sensuality to the composition. The contrast between the pale complexion and the vivid lip color creates a visually striking effect, drawing attention to the artist's mouth and adding a touch of playfulness to the overall expression.
Surrounding the artist's face, blurred out lines create a sense of movement and energy. These lines add a dynamic element to the composition, suggesting a sense of the artist's creative process and the flow of ideas and emotions. The blurred lines also create a sense of depth and dimension, enhancing the overall visual impact of the artwork.

In this silent or better said, silenced lonely character, we can recognize our long hidden selves.
The representation with the empty background is dreamlike, it makes it feel like a captured moment of human misery.
Mircia’s artwork in this case as well depicts the fragility of human existence.
The old man raises his finger to his pursed lips and warns you to be silent, or silencing himself?
According to Aristotle, the hand is the "tool of tools." In general it is strength, power and protection. However, it can just as easily mean generosity, hospitality and stability; "lend a hand".

"Each work is a call to personal and collective memory.

Dan Badea's painting "Dialogue" is a captivating piece filled with rich symbolism. The presence of two characters, a female with a large speaker at her mouth and a male with a fish at his ear, immediately draws the viewer's attention. The juxtaposition of these objects suggests a contrast in communication styles or perhaps a struggle to be heard or understood.
The choice of a speaker amplifies the idea of the female figure's voice being powerful or dominant, while the fish at the male figure's ear may symbolize receptivity or a sense of being overwhelmed by information. This could hint at themes of gender dynamics, communication barriers, or the complexities of interpersonal relationships.

The figure's posture, bracing themselves in a position of vulnerability and surrender, speaks to the universal experience of seeking solace and rest in the midst of life's turbulence. This poignant portrayal prompts viewers to pause and reflect on their own relationship with rest, tranquility, and the challenges that surround them.
The chaotic environment that envelops the sleeping figure serves as a metaphor for the complexities and uncertainties of the world around us. It prompts us to consider how we navigate through the noise and distractions of life, seeking moments of stillness and introspection to find clarity and inner peace.
As we immerse ourselves in the contemplative atmosphere of "Sleepiness," we are encouraged to look inward, to explore our own inner landscapes, and to consider how we can find moments of respite and reflection amidst the chaos of our daily lives. The painting becomes a mirror through which we can examine our own relationship with rest, self-care, and the pursuit of inner harmony.

"Each work is a call to personal and collective memory. The idea of recovering through collage fragments of workshop drawings, of inserting text, the combinations of pastel, pasty material, transparent surfaces, glazes, in a post-modernist approach, in which I emphasize with irony and try to cut out the atmosphere of a period of time.
A politically difficult period, that of the 80s, which created and shaped mentalities still found today, finds its place in my artistic concerns.
These characters have domestic activities, with a whole inventory of household objects, some invented, convey a common image, in which I hope each viewer finds himself in some way." Dan Badea
The symbolism within the artwork speaks to themes of self-care, introspection, and the importance of finding moments of respite in our busy lives.

Surrounding the woman are various household objects such as teapots and plants, which serve as symbols of domesticity and nurturing. The presence of these familiar objects adds a sense of comfort and familiarity to the scene, suggesting that the woman has created a cozy and inviting space for herself to retreat and unwind.
The use of a blue dress worn by the woman can be symbolic of tranquility, peace, and harmony. Blue is often associated with serenity and relaxation, reflecting the peaceful state of mind that the woman in the painting is experiencing as she rests on the couch.
The painting serves as a gentle reminder to prioritize our well-being and to embrace moments of quietude and rejuvenation, ultimately emphasizing the value of nurturing our inner selves in the midst of life's hustle and bustle.

In Mircia Dumitrescu's aquarelle painting featuring a clown in green shades with his arm outstretched against a deep bluish background, the clown holds significant symbolism. Traditionally, clowns are associated with entertainment, humor, and performance. However, in this particular painting, the clown takes on a deeper and more introspective meaning.
The clown's presence in the painting may symbolize the complexities and contradictions of human nature. Clowns are often seen as figures who hide their true emotions behind a mask of exaggerated joy and laughter. The clown's green attire, representing growth and renewal, could suggest that beneath the facade of performance lies a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
Additionally, the outstretched arm of the clown, as if inviting the viewer to engage or reflect, may symbolize vulnerability and openness. The clown's gesture could be interpreted as a call to look beyond appearances and delve into deeper emotions and thoughts within oneself.
Overall, the significance of the clown in Mircia Dumitrescu's painting lies in its ability to evoke introspection, self-reflection, and a deeper exploration of the complexities of human experience.

A Don Quixote with a distorted head. Battling with the fiction of its own fantasy and who, probably doesn't even notice that they are just battling with a shapeless vision.
The horse is a popular subject in fine art history. It represents vigorous spirit and driving force in life. The fact that the horses head is covered with a voile provokes an interest in what is hidden and what the visible does not show us. This interest can take the form of a decidedly intense feeling, a kind of conflict between the hidden visible and the apparent visible.

In this dynamic work of art, we see a man, powerlessly falling and a hand reaching out to him.
It all seems like a bad dream, ironically opposed to the title.
His clothing makes us think about a prisoner, maybe finally falling into his last journey?
The hat represents authority and power. Because it usually covers the head, the hat contains thought; therefore, if it is changed, an opinion is changed. In this case it is placed on our prisoner, maybe showing that he lost his power.
The hand reaching out is a premonition to the desire to escape from daily responsibilities.

The picture is part of the series Soul Representation Surrealism. If the observer observes the details carefully, he can notice that the clouds in the background have a silhouette similar to that of the crocodiles. So the clouds become the stones on which the rabbit can step as part of its journey, and finally the stairs become crocodiles, and as the last step a stone or a hole is visible, which wants to represent the rabbit's cavity in an abstract way. It is abstract, as it is surrounded by dashed lines, thus it is indicated by the geometric solution that if the rabbit jumps into the hole, it is not known exactly what it will find there. The exact meaning, the stairs of fear, can also be interpreted from the title of the picture. So the journey itself is about facing our fears and overcoming them. Also about the quality of fear itself, since our fears are often clouds, illusions, unreal barriers raised by ourselves, this is what the clouds symbolize. Furthermore, the crocodile, as actually terrifying forms, presents the conflict itself, the assumption of our decisions. The rabbit hole symbolizes that if we follow this psychological path, we often find ourselves in a new life situation that we did not expect.

In Hungary, along the beautiful Danube River, one can witness the graceful presence of cranes. Upon encountering these magnificent creatures, my curiosity was piqued, prompting me to explore their symbolic significance in various cultures. In Japan, the crane holds a special place among a realm of mystical and sacred creatures, symbolizing both good fortune and longevity. According to Japanese folklore, cranes are said to live for a thousand years, embodying a remarkable lifespan. Often referred to as the "bird of happiness," the crane is believed to carry departed souls to paradise, gracefully transporting them on its wings. Additionally, waves have long been regarded as symbols of the gods of the seas. The powerful and undulating patterns of churning waves represent strength and resilience, reminding us of the mighty forces of nature.

Sri Ramakrishna (master of Swami Vivekánanada) in the XIX. is considered one of the greatest saints of 19th century India. Detailed accounts of his eventful life, his devotion to the Mother of God Káli, his divine experiences, the often seemingly strange happenings of his everyday life, his teachings and his students, are left to us, which are summarized in the book titled "The Divine Swan". Reading the book inspired the creation of the painting. In the painting, in the left corner, you can see a crow on its way down. Due to the dark background and the more relaxed pictorial solutions, this part of the image may seem tired and difficult, while the swan turns towards the light, almost a silhouette of light surrounds its figure, it is about to take off. The two birds are twisted together, created from each other, yet they oppose each other. From this, we can conclude the deeper meaning of the image, i.e. that the crow basically symbolizes a difficult life situation, or pain, which can be released through transformation, and can develop into strength and inspiration in a person's life through interpretation.

In Roman mythology, Fortuna is the personification and goddess of luck, fate, and the contingencies of life (Jupiter's first daughter). The meaning of her name: yield, yield, perhaps a Latinized version of the Etruscan Vortumna, which means a girl who turns every year. The symbol of its unpredictability is the wheel of fortune. In the Middle Ages, the wheel of Fortuna symbolized the capricious rotation of human life, following the ancient topos. This is perhaps a name referring to the cycle of life, which culminated in the medieval proverb Bona Rotae (rotating of fate).
The artist's skillful use of blue shades creates a serene and ethereal atmosphere, immersing viewers in a world of tranquility and contemplation. The fluidity of the girl's movements suggests a sense of grace and freedom, as if she is effortlessly navigating the depths of an underwater realm.

This could hint at themes of gender dynamics, communication barriers, or the complexities of interpersonal relationships.

The figure's posture, bracing themselves in a position of vulnerability and surrender, speaks to the universal experience of seeking solace and rest in the midst of life's turbulence. This poignant portrayal prompts viewers to pause and reflect on their own relationship with rest, tranquility, and the challenges that surround them. The chaotic environment that envelops the sleeping figure serves as a metaphor for the complexities and uncertainties of the world around us. It prompts us to consider how we navigate through the noise and distractions of life, seeking moments of stillness and introspection to find clarity and inner peace.
As we immerse ourselves in the contemplative atmosphere of "Sleepiness," we are encouraged to look inward, to explore our own inner landscapes, and to consider how we can find moments of respite and reflection amidst the chaos of our daily lives. The painting becomes a mirror through which we can examine our own relationship with rest, self-care, and the pursuit of inner harmony.

Traditionally, clowns are associated with entertainment, humor, and performance. However, in this particular painting, the clown takes on a deeper and more introspective meaning.
The clown's presence in the painting may symbolize the complexities and contradictions of human nature. Clowns are often seen as figures who hide their true emotions behind a mask of exaggerated joy and laughter. The clown's green attire, representing growth and renewal, could suggest that beneath the facade of performance lies a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
Additionally, the outstretched arm of the clown, as if inviting the viewer to engage or reflect, may symbolize vulnerability and openness. The clown's gesture could be interpreted as a call to look beyond appearances and delve into deeper emotions and thoughts within oneself.
Overall, the significance of the clown in Mircia Dumitrescu's painting lies in its ability to evoke introspection, self-reflection, and a deeper exploration of the complexities of human experience.
