Description from the seller
•Title: “Passages of time”
•Artist: Cosmin Marian Guta
•Year: 2026
•Technique: Mixed media on canvas, pastels, ink oil and acrylic on canvas
------------ ---------------
* Painting dimensions: 140x139 cm painting
* Total canvas dimensions: 150x147 cm (with about 3-4 cm of free space on each side to be framed)
* SHIPMENT WITHOUT FRAME / SHIPPING WITHOUT FRAME
---------------------------
• Style: Contemporary, in which I use mixed media and organic matter that, when manipulated, takes on a tactile quality that recalls human epidermis. The surfaces of my works become skins that breathe, scar, erode, and transform. They are sensitive maps where memories, marks and silences are inscribed. I am interested in that point of intersection between the physical and the symbolic, where matter seems to have a life of its own.
• Shipping: Packed and boxed in a cardboard tube
• Signed on the front of the canvas
• Note: Colors may vary slightly compared to the photographs
• The work is unique.
***The artwork will be shipped in a cardboard tube, with a tracking number, with an internationally known carrier, for example (FEDEX, UPS, TNT) ***
Description
Passages of Time is a visual meditation on the fragility of existence and the persistence of memory. Figures emerge and fade within a single pictorial space, like echoes of lives that intertwine beyond chronology. Each body bears the imprint of a transformation, each face seems to contain a suspended moment between memory and becoming. The material, vibrant and changeable, turns time into a tangible presence, not as a line that advances, but as a territory where past, present, and future coexist. The work invites contemplation of the body as an archive of experiences and the soul as a landscape in permanent motion.

Seller's Story
Cosmin Marian Guta (1994) is a Romanian contemporary artist whose work sits at the crossroads of figurative painting, mythology, and emotional exploration. His work stands out for its strong symbolic charge and an intense aesthetic, where the human figure becomes a vehicle for psychological and timeless narratives.
He trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, where he completed his studies in 2020 with the highest grade. During his academic phase he broadened his artistic perspective through an Erasmus program in Barcelona, at EASD Llotja, a city that would later become a key point in his professional development. In Barcelona he also did internships at the RocíoSantaCruz gallery, an experience that reinforced his direct contact with the contemporary art circuit.
The artist's work is characterized by the use of mixed media on canvas, where oil, acrylic, ink, and pastel converge. His compositions, of intense visual force, explore themes such as identity, myth, the body, and deep emotional states, giving rise to scenes loaded with tension, symbolism, and an almost dreamlike atmosphere.
Guta works with material intuitively, building his paintings through successive layers of materials, textures, and gestures. In this process, the surface acquires a tactile quality that recalls the human epidermis: the fabrics seem to breathe, scar, erode, and transform over time. The works thus become living skins, sensitive maps where memories, marks, and silences are inscribed.
In many of his compositions there is a subtle line or division on the pictorial surface, a natural outcome of the very process of stratifying matter. More than a formal element, this presence functions as a conceptual axis within the work. For the artist, painting reflects how human identity is constructed: not as a perfect continuity, but as a layering of experiences, memories, and fragments of time.
These divisions suggest pause, transition, or a scar; they indicate rupture without denying the unity of the whole. In this way, each painting is configured as a field of accumulated time, where each layer preserves the imprint of what came before and each fracture participates in a deeper totality.
He has presented his work in solo exhibitions in Barcelona, in cultural spaces such as Cotxeres de Sants (2022 and 2024), and has participated in international artistic events such as Rome Art Week in Rome. He has also been part of numerous group exhibitions in Spain and Italy, including projects linked to institutions and museums such as the Andersen Museum in Rome.
