For Tiberius Adet, the theme is a pretext rather than an iconographic stake. Thus, his paintings swing between figurative and a certain type of abstract, in the sense that various recognizable forms, often geometric, are chromatically derived, becoming metaphorically speaking, windows to possible (other) non-objective artworks. The artist ingeniously treats various concrete areas as textures. I draw attention to the relations between part and whole, whether we are dealing with refined graphic details or intrusive interventions (floating layers applied later in compositions, which change their dynamics).

Mihnea Badea’s personal exhibition, “Apostasy XXI”, organized in December 2023 at the UAP Ploiesti Galleries, brings up a series of fundamental issues regarding the position of man in relation to faith, morality and ethics, in a historical and anticipative perspective.
In the creation of the artist, the theme occupies the central place, prevailing over the technical means. Thus, the line and chromatic meet and intertwine organically, complementing each other. In principle, in painting the color is subordinated to the drawing, the artist often intervening on his canvases in the idea of highlighting the visual signs and motifs imagined, instituted in real scenographic icons.
