Mariana Sain-Morar: The Sacred Within
Romanian artist Mariana Sain-Morar's Inventive world of dreamlike imagery reflects an independence of thought and flexibility of style that makes her such a versatile artist. Her deep understanding of art history allows her to adeptly incorporate a wide range of influences into a decidedly unique and truly innovative style. Above all, Sain-Morar explores the expressive power of line in her deeply emotional paintings of figurative subjects. With each gentle curve and dramatic swoop, Sain-Morar's elegant lines serve as the cornerstone of her creations. Just as she displays her inventiveness with line, Sain-Morar reveals the amazing range of texture and color it is possible to acheieve with oil and acrylic paints. Each of her canvases appears to glow with the softly blended pigments and subtle hues recalling the ephermal lightness of oil pastel. This appealing softness draws the viewer into Sain-Morar's works, creating a one on one conversation with her soulful subjects. In this way, Sain-Morar allows her subjects to speak directly through her paintbrush, translating an unspoken feeling directly through each moving brush stroke.
