• Biography

Anca Todrican, born in Romania in 1985, from a young age shows a great passion for drawing and painting. In 2004, after completing her studies, she moves to Rome where she begins an artistic collaboration at the studio of master Fausto Battelli.
In 2018 they held their first solo exhibition at the space dedicated to contemporary art at Campo Boario in Rome; subsequently they exhibited nationally and internationally, notably in Paris in 2024 at the Thuilleier Gallery. In the last five years their works have been purchased by collectors in Germany, France, Hong Kong and Japan.

Anca Todrican in 2010 opens her studio in Rome and begins her artistic career by experimenting with an abstract language imbued with a strongly expressionist vein. The works born from a creative impulse and executed with brush and palette knife, favoring acrylic on canvas, are dominated by the energy of gesture and by color contrasts, symbolizing the force of nature with its continual change, expressed by rapid and intense touches of color on jagged, shifting color fields. This exploration expresses humanity's bond with nature and represents the paths of life marked by a continual struggle between unstoppable events and the desire for harmony and quiet.

The wish to deepen the construction of visual space and to concentrate the expressiveness of color in a minimalist choice leads Anca Todrican to transform her artistic language, and from 2023 she has been composing new works based on a geometric composition that has no defined boundaries, yet blends one color into another, creating large, essential forms founded on a carefully balanced interplay of visual weights.

White and black dominate, as contrasts of light and dark, giving dimension and strength to the painting, enriched from time to time by a single color that is surprisingly intense, luminous, and full of energy, which creates defined and contrasting spaces.

Each work has its own visual center and expressive center, toward which the optical constructions converge.

A reflection on existence and the need to express oneself; thus in the vast timeless pictorial space of his canvases, the artist represents life, in the need for boundaries and at the same time for fusions of souls, in the desire for harmony and, at the same time, in the expression of his own vital energy, and finally to mark his own story, unique, in that solitary and intense gesture.
