carmen sarbu Artist Bio:

The human figure is the major inspiration of my work. I am interested in how society, history and time have shaped the human being. My latest research is about metaphysical expressionism. “White Shadows” series is inspired by Giorgio de Chirico’s art of metaphysics and sometimes by the Romanian culture in expressionist lyrics. Starting from the idea that a shadow signifies presence and absence in the same time, I try to depict the passing and always present human nature, souls on a stage that are incessantly floating with their white unnatural shadows, deployed by the space they manifest into. When looking at my paintings, I want the art lovers to see the profound side of the things represented in the real world, i.e. the mystery preserved by a deserted square, a building, a stone or even a statue. I would also love them to be able to foresee our souls in a tireless search for balance and harmony.
