 Review of the painting “Inside Look”

Steliana Mocanu , painter living near Toulouse, presents us with “Inside Look” a work which illustrates her commitment to lyrical abstraction, an artistic movement born in France in 1947, characterized by the expression of emotion through evanescent and poetic compositions. Trained at the Bucharest School of Fine Arts, Mocanu was able to integrate a deep spirituality into her works, inherited from her native Romania, where she developed a flamboyant and sincere artistic energy.

The painting is distinguished by its boldness and emotional richness. The composition of this painting demonstrates a subtle balance between shapes and colors, a fundamental aspect of Stéliana Mocanu's artistic approach. The painting is dominated by bright, contrasting hues, with touches of bright yellow, intense red, and darker shades of black and purple. This varied chromatic palette creates a visual dynamic that immediately captures the attention and guides the viewer's gaze through the different areas of the canvas.

The texture of the paint, with its overlapping layers and visible brushstrokes, adds a tactile dimension to the work, inviting a more intimate and sensory exploration. Each color seems to dialogue with the others, creating a complex harmony that reflects the artist's search to express deep and spiritual emotions.

The contrast between the bright and dark areas in “Inside Look” evokes an interior universe, an introspection which could be a reflection on the relationship of humans to the cosmos, a recurring theme in Mocanu's work. The abstract, fluid forms recall the ephemeral and changing nature of human emotions, and the interplay between light and shadow could symbolize the duality of existence, the tension between the visible and the invisible, the known and the unknown.

Mocanu's boldness is also manifested in the way she approaches composition, not afraid to leave spaces of freedom and spontaneity in her work. This creative freedom is essential to capturing the vitality and energy one feels while observing “Inside Look.” The result is a work that interacts with the viewer, arousing emotions and personal reflections.
