Hortensia Mi Kafchin and the Neo-Metaphysical Painting
An artist who goes beyond virtuosity in a transgressive view of existential anguish: the authenticity of being, anxiety, depression, powerlessness in the face of the absurdity of the world.
Gabriela Mateescu
Gabriela Mateescu is a Romanian artist and author who lives and works in Bucharest, working with video, installation, drawing and performance. Her work is feminist, autobiographical and self-referential, following the social and relational aspects of art, as a medium that creates affiliation, closeness and long-lasting friendships.
