Vladiana Ghiulvessi
Vladiana Ghiulvessi (1994, Baia Mare) has a degree in ethnology from Cluj-Napoca Technical University and a master degree, specialization in Painting at the University of Arts and Design in Cluj-Napoca. She lives and works in Baia Mare.
The paintings of Vladiana Ghiulvessi are built upon the vivid choreography of forms and colours. Their intimate plots expressed in large surfaces describe movements and moods that evoke an analytical practice. In her visual grammar the corporeality of forms is always linked with the sensitivity of colours. Thus, the corpus of images prompted by Ghiulvessi enables the embodiment of a condensed alphabet explored in various pictorial configurations. However, what intrigues the viewer is the tension produced by the asymmetry of forms, their fluid intersectional geometry and the psychological attribute of colours. The emerging visual connections that occur in her works conjure the appearances of radiant montages that are constantly transforming themselves, in an apparent aleatory motion, stimulating our sensuous knowledge. As such, her work is being developed in series, one image being renewed by another, one narrative being continued by another. (text by Alina Serban)
