During the dinner, several lots will be exhibited for auction, including the painting "Moldova" by artist Cristina Balan.
Cristina Balan
“Moldova”, acrylic on canvas, 99.5x99.5 cm
About the painting. “Moldova” depicts a vortex, a universal pattern of growth and evolution, reminding a dance of the traditional Moldovan rug colors. Having in mind that art is a vital drive of pure energy, the artist seeks through the vortex for the "peak of maximum energy". The optical circular illusion of Balan's works envelops us and forces our mind to rotate in a perennial and universal motion; it generates a centripetal movement which is also an illusion, an illusion of reality, true, great, unresolved anxiety of the contemporary world.
What is Moldova, what is its past and what’s its future? Is the vortex moving inward or outward? Is Moldova going down or will it finally liberate itself? These are the key questions addressed in this beautiful and intense abstract painting.
About the artist. Cristina Balan is a Moldovan expressionist abstract artist. She studied arts from the age of five. Very early on, her works were exhibited at various artistic performances in Moldova and abroad. The fall of the Soviet Union paused Cristina’s creative ascensionIn, however, in 2019, after an almost 20-year hiatus, Cristina returned full-time to art, her abstract paintings being quickly noticed and appreciated by the public. Contemporary art magazines including Diafano (Spain), Art Hole, and Boomer (UK) featured her works. Her paintings have been displayed in art shows in Washington D.C., New York City, and Kiev. Cristina’s works are currently featured by Gallery 104, New York, Tricera Gallery, Tokyo, and Art Nou Milleni, Barcelona.
