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.

Today, October 30, Hospices of Hope Moldova organized the first event on wheels for all those who want to help the incurable patients through a unique charity event.
One of the main goals of this action was to raise funds for multidisciplinary teams that are part of the Hospices of Hope Moldova network and which this year exceeded the number of 3000 patient care.
"We promote the message of developing free palliative care services and support such activities to raise public awareness but also to raise funds that will allow us to further develop this area," said Lara Moraru, executive director of the organization.
The charity event brought together parents, young people and children who came on rollers and scooters, masked for Halloween, and walked a circle around the lake in Valea Morilor Park.
We thank INSP for the safety of our participants.
Event partner: Fruits & Berries
