User talk:Aculina Strasnei Popa

... The graphics of Aculina Strasnei Popa is being born out of a profound bondage feeling, doubled by an irresistible aspiration to purity. The artist creates driven by an enthusiasm that breaks all the being's barriers. The framework of her works seems too tight for her spiritual energy. The same motives reappear in her delirious vision: the ladder, the wing, the wheel, the cross and the human being. This correlation of the human being with the cross and the ladder offer a Christian sense to her yearning high up in the sky. Especially her pastels carry a living memory of the Byzantine icon. Groups of characters with unusually tall silhouettes are waiting for the anger falling from above, but the apocalyptic terror is banished by a rainbow or an angel.Aculina Strasnei Popa is an artist with multiple resources. Her evolution has shown it clearly that her authentic calling is drawing. Not accidentally, her international success recorded over the years had been acquired for easel graphics. Even when she approaches the pastel - style located at the border between drawing and painting - the line is the essential expression means. However, it is important that Aculina Strasnei Popa has made drawing a style of major art, a way of expressing a relationship with the world and an attitude towards life. Her graphics is born out of a deep bondage feeling of the human being, doubled by an irresistible aspiration to the highest. Due to this fact, her works are full of some kind of tension always turning out from the compositional assembly. The entire picture is drawn up with a fierce perseverance; the shapes are transcribed with an extremely abundant shade. The artist desires to leave nothing unoccupied in the image field, and the lines orientation is changing continuously, like a whirlpool. Some shapes and motives receive a symbol function. The ladder, the wing, the cross lead to the idea of ascension, become the signs of a humanity ennobled by the desire for purity. A Christian breath blows softly in this graphics.

The life of an artist is always a destiny. After graduation Aculina Strasnei Popa becomes one of the artistic personalities permanently present, through personal and group exhibitions, national and international, in various places of the country and abroad. Her love for the past calls her to study journeys, experience exchange in the balcanic land. In the cycle "Memories from Greece,” the land covered by churches appears frequently in several works. Churches from former Yugoslavia and Bulgaria as well represented source of inspiration for a series of pastels, canvas, drawings shown in numerous private and state collections. The history of Byzantines, the Byzantine art, represent for Aculina Strasnei Popa, lodes of inspiration that fulfill her vision of faith. Often present in the magnificent "Saint Sofia,” the artist is impressed by the Byzantine inheritance, being aware of what the world had lost by the fall of Eastern Rome. The Byzantine icon is for her a source of continuous inspiration, the filter of spirituality. The face of Christ, variously created, represents a permanent symbol of orthodoxy that bursts out of her works just like a volcano. The cycle "Song of the Songs,” "The Garden of Eden", "The Resurrection of Lazarus" or "The Ladder of Jacob" reveal that the artist is creating under the impulse of a strong religious influence.

♦The Exodus" (Baragan) represents an obsessing cycle in the work of Aculina Strasnei Popa.

♦The refuge from Basarabia, as well as the deportation to Baragan, represented events that left a strong mark on her consciousness and artistic evolution.

♦Themes like [["The Crucifiers,” "Destinies,” "Dance of Madmen", "Lost Horizons,”

♦"Us and the Land", "Testimonies", "Ancestors" or "Cucutenians"]] mark the destiny,unseen and always present.

♦The symbols used by the artist contain various themes referring to birth, baptism,crucifixion, falling or rising, confirming again her spirituality.

By continuous work, sometimes full of restrictions, Aculina Strasnei Popa is an example of artistic devotion worth to follow.
