Original artwork description:

“The Altar of Silent Horizons”
from the series of " Between the Dark and Divine "
acrylics and spras on canvas / with case silver frame / 65 x 65 cm / signed September 2025
Within the evolving constellation of the series Between the Dark and Divine, this 60 x 60 cm painting emerges as an intimate yet cosmic fragment—an inner landscape transposed into a silent horizon where matter dissolves into dream and dream crystallizes into matter. The Altar of Silent Horizons does not simply portray an abstract scene; it stages a metaphysical rite, where the shadows of the unconscious and the luminous intuitions of the spirit confront each other in a suspended choreography.
The composition unfolds like a dream-image: a nebulous field of grey-blue veils creates the sensation of infinite distance, as if the viewer were submerged beneath layers of soft ether or drifting through a celestial fog. At the heart of this vaporous expanse, a nucleus of concentrated energy erupts—iridescent strokes of turquoise, spectral greens, and incandescent flashes of orange and violet, condensed into a secret epicenter. This core resembles both a wound and a portal, both a fracture of silence and a shrine where unseen forces gather.
Oneirically, the painting evokes the sensation of being caught between waking and dreaming, between the serenity of nocturnal drift and the unsettling presence of archetypal visions. It is as if fragments of forgotten myths, drowned in the waters of time, resurface in abstract form. The delicate fissures and scattered traces across the surface act like cryptic notations—silent hieroglyphs of an invisible scripture inscribed upon the unconscious.
In the broader narrative of the series, this work resonates as a quieter, more contemplative counterpart to the monumental canvases of recent years. While the larger pieces in Between the Dark and Divine often explored vast cosmic storms, tectonic ruptures, and divine fractures, The Altar of Silent Horizons turns its gaze inward. Its reduced scale intensifies the intimacy of the encounter: the painting becomes a chamber, a sanctum where the viewer enters alone, facing the silence within themselves. Yet this reduction does not diminish the scale of vision—it only transforms it into an implosion, a concentrated spark of infinity in miniature.
From the perspective of contemporary aesthetics, this work situates itself within the dialogue between abstraction and the metaphysical. In an age where images are oversaturated and reality often feels fractured by virtual simulacra, the painting resists representation while offering an experience of transcendence. It invites the viewer into a space beyond narrative, where the visual becomes meditative and the act of looking becomes an initiation. This is not an image to be consumed, but a threshold to be crossed.
The painting also reflects a crucial contemporary tension: the desire for silence in a world of incessant noise. Its fog-like atmosphere suggests the erasure of excess, while its central eruption offers a vision of concentrated presence. Here lies its power: to distill the chaos of the present into a moment of spectral clarity, to reveal that even within the darkest clouds, the divine pulse persists.
The Altar of Silent Horizons stands, therefore, as a metaphysical icon for the contemporary condition. It reminds us that art, when it dares to inhabit the liminal zones between darkness and divinity, can still open gateways—toward memory, toward dream, toward a sacred horizon that lies not outside of us, but within the silent chambers of our being.

Constantly fascinated, this dynamism of shape opens up in a unique way, by projecting a way of mind, a mind performance with neurological circuits. This is my magic eye.I believe that by uniqueness begins with the very capacity of inventing universe out of things shattered by time, things that have changed into ephemerity. There are hours that I spend staring at the mud, at the wrinkles of the trees, at the rust of walls damaged by time. It is an exercise that everybody should make. It means worming the spirit, getting in touch with the sublime. I am connected to silence and endless time during the short chat between things. Sublime. Esoteric. And the nigh, that cold, fascinating light that makes things change their meaning, driven by an inner tremble that is known from a previous moment, fluttering through images.

/ My visual relates with spirituality, dreams, unconsciousness, delirium, hallucination, with the change of shape and light, with the spontaneous, illusion, abnormal and normal, bizarre and wear. I was born in Romania, Neamt district,in a small town in N E of Romania at 27 of july 1977. In 2000 I graduated the Technical University Gheorghe Asachi from Iasi, Romania, Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunication. In 2009 I graduated master classes at George Enescu Art University from Iasi, Faculty of Fine Arts with the project Urban wear oniric interferences object of art. I Live and create in Focsani, Vrancea district from Romania /
