For the series of paintings that I’m working at the moment, I’m using durational performance in applying the last layer for the works. The works I’m doing explore my notion of fantasy world vs real world and during the hours of the performance, I’m constructing or applying the real-life world on the canvas. Before starting the performance, I don’t have a prearranged idea of what I’m going to paint, so everything that appears or is deconstructed on the canvas happens as a reaction to my thought and feelings at that moment. In relation to memories of my childhood. The project overall, deals with the notion of fantasy world from when I was a kid to the real world memories of living in a post-communist Bucharest and how those worlds were existing in hybridization.
