TEODORA PICA

Stemming from a painters' family specialized in mural art - from father and grandfather, Teodora Pica was introduced, early in her childhood, to this complex art, which demands a precise knowledge of the qualities and the preparation of pigments, as well as its meticulous application in successive coats.

This education is translated, in the paintings of Pica, by a merciless concern of the space and the shape. Her majestic landscapes, in the representation of a mythical place and that of a dream, contain mysteries, even enigmas. The desire to penetrate into the surroundings of this vague world persists. Maybe it is the singular and modern way of the artist to communicate, stemming from memory, that does not stop questioning us?

Pica recommends three, both different and additional, approaches in her paintings. So, the landscape, the floral nature and the not representational artist offer different treatments to the amateur, but where from certain common points appear in particular the concern of the artist for the structure of surfaces. In her landscapes for example, air and vapors, as if a sfumato soaks and fills the nature, rereleases poetic, quiet and contemplative works with enigmatic light.
