From the Outside In<br />

Very early in my life I realized that I had the perspective of an outsider. Because I was born in a<br />

Romanian family in Geneva, Switzerland, the eccentric tendencies of my relatives often clashed<br />

with the principles of the Calvinist society we lived in. My friends called me “Paprika Feet”. Later<br />

on and yet in another place in California, while studying Magic Realism in Latin American fiction<br />

I experienced instant recognition. Raised in a Cartesian society where only a pragmatic attitude<br />

was acceptable, I succumbed to the irrationality of the reality described by Latin American writers.<br />

Since then, I have been concerned with the disparate interpretations of reality, which displays the<br />

paradox of two conflicting perspectives, one based on a rational view of reality and the other on the<br />

acceptance of the unusual as prosaic reality.<br />

In order to depict the relationship of reality and illusion, I focus my emotions and thoughts to construct<br />

meaning, applying oil paint and glazes layers after layers. By adding multiple impressions of<br />

light, I create inner landscapes from which exude an allegorical quality.<br />

The Presence of the Past<br />
