Until Thursday 31 March, the Instituto Cultural Rumano of Madrid presents the painting exhibition Una mirada compartida (A Shared Gaze), by Anka Moldovan in the Gallery of its Madrid headquarters. The opening ceremony will take place this evening at 7 p.m. and will be attended by the painter and the art historian and writer Jaime de los Santos.
Those who know Anka Moldovan’s work speak of “visceral impulse”, of “stories and tales” told on each canvas, of “creation of environments” with a different atmosphere, between fogs, asphalts and striking characters that come and go, that stop and are articulated under a figurative abstraction.
Anka Moldovan was born in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, in 1976. The daughter of an orthodox priest, she studied the technique of Byzantine icons in Romania, adopting certain techniques that she would later apply to the supports and their preparation in her painting. She continued her training with different painters both in Spain and Romania while studying at the Autonomous University of Madrid, where she graduated as an Art Historian in 1998. She has had solo and group exhibitions in cities such as Madrid, Berlin, Porto, New York, Paris, Seville and Bolzano.
