• Biography

Anca Todrican was born in Romania in 1985 and, from a young age, demonstrated a great passion for drawing and painting. In 2004, after completing her studies, she moved to Rome where she began an artistic collaboration at the studio of master Fausto Battelli.
In 2018 she held her first solo exhibition at the contemporary art space in Campo Boario, Rome; subsequently she exhibited nationally and internationally, notably in Paris in 2024 at Galerie Thuillier. In the last five years her works have been purchased by collectors around the world.

Anca Todrican, in 2010, opened her own studio in Rome and began her artistic career by experimenting with an abstract language with a strongly expressive vein. The works born from a creative impulse and made with brush and spatula, favoring acrylic on canvas, are dominated by the energy of gesture and color contrasts, symbolizing the force of nature with its continual change, expressed by rapid and intense strokes of color on jagged changing fields. This research expresses the bond between man and nature and represents life paths characterized by a constant struggle between unstoppable events and the desire for harmony and quiet.

The desire 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 composes new works starting from a geometric composition with no defined limits but that blends one color into another, creating large essential forms based on a sought-after balance between 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, creating defined and contrasting spaces.

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

A reflection on existence and the need to express oneself; thus, in the great, timeless painting space of her canvases, the artist represents life, in the need for boundaries and at the same time for fusion of souls, in the desire for harmony and simultaneously for the expression of her own vital energy, and finally to mark her unique history in that solitary and intense gesture.
