This work speaks about the way experiences settle over time — sometimes quietly, sometimes chaotically. About the traces the years leave within us and the way identity is built through contrasts rather than perfection.
In this composition, fragments coexist without hiding. Tense areas stand next to calm ones, vertical structures meet horizontal lines, and strong colors remain together without losing their authenticity.
I did not want to control everything or create a perfect balance. I wanted the work to preserve the real energy of life — change, inner reconstruction, fragility, and the courage to keep becoming.
For me, these layers feel like emotional sediments: experiences, losses, beginnings, moments of calm and unrest that together create who we become over time.

Next week, Cristina Talea will participate in MoBU – International Art Fair of Bucharest 2026, presenting recent works from the “Layers of Silence” series alongside established Romanian contemporary artists.
After a long experience in scenography, architecture, and interior design, the artist Cristina Talea returns to abstract painting and manual work as a form of authentic expression in a visual context dominated by digital imagery and artificially generated technologies. Her artistic practice is a conscious return to gesture, materiality, and real emotion.

Her professional experience in interior arrangements directly influences how abstract compositions are constructed, with bold colors and the balance of the works being thought out in relation to space, light, and architecture, aiming to enhance and harmonize the environment. Encouraged by the reactions of clients whose spaces have been complemented by her paintings, the artist embraces showcasing her works as a return to manually created art in the authentic sense of the word.

The work is an original abstract painting, manually crafted in acrylic on canvas, using professional-quality acrylic colors. It consists of two paintings, each measuring 40 x 40 cm, together forming a work with a maximum size of 40 x 80 cm. The size is balanced, neither aggressive nor too small, allowing the space to breathe and the work to be perceived as a unique object. These can be displayed together or separately, with each painting signed individually.
The works are sold with a wooden frame and are properly packaged.
The work is signed in the original, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. It is also signed and dated on the back of the piece.

It is advisable to analyze all images and detailed photographs; colors may vary slightly from the actual colors of the paintings depending on screen settings. Unique work.

The images in the presentation are montages and may vary in size to better illustrate the details of the painting. The actual dimensions are those stated in the description.
