AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Smile Beyond Time collection is a series of Masterpieces of Joy, Memory, and Color.
A very strong art investment tool, a beautiful and unique way to make your house – home, your office – a design space, or to transform a simple gift to a memorable memory through time.


From the vibrant imagination of Mihai Cotiga comes a portrait of light, laughter, and endurance. Painted in oil on a grand canvas of 120×100 cm, The Smile Beyond Time celebrates the undying spark within every soul. The elder’s face glows with wisdom and delight, a mirror to life’s eternal joy. Each stroke radiates emotion and chromatic power, fusing realism with a halo of tenderness. Ideal for the discerning collector or as a gift of unforgettable symbolism — this painting does not decorate walls; it illuminates them.

From the hand of Mihai Cotiga — one of Romania’s most luminous emerging painters — comes a portrait that transcends mere depiction. Measuring 120 by 100 centimeters, rendered in sumptuous oil on canvas, this work captures the radiant smile of an elder whose spirit defies the passing of years.

The brushwork pulses with energy, dignity, and vibrant serenity — a testament to life’s undiminished beauty. Whether for a refined collector, a discerning investor, or as a sublime gift for a new home, a wedding, or a milestone celebration, this painting is more than art: it is a blessing framed in color.




Mihai Mircea Cotiga is an artist originally from Turnu Măgurele, Romania, who now calls the lively city of Bucharest home. His artistic journey is all about pursuing curiosities to reach an intersection of many disciplines and create something new in painting. He seamlessly blends art history, photography manipulation, and AI to explore the boundless possibilities of oil painting.

Holding a Master's in Architecture from the University “Spiru Haret” in Bucharest, Romania, he possesses a unique perspective that connects architecture and art in interesting ways. His creativity is a mix of influences, blending the threads of art history with the fabric of everyday life. He paints portraits, especially of older individuals, in a dreamy and surreal style.

He mainly uses oil paint in his art because it is a medium with a historic quality, power, and depth. His art has found its way into private collections worldwide, extending its impact beyond personal expression.
