Cezar Secrieru

About

Cezar Secrieru is an abstract painter born in Falticeni, Romania in 1962. His passion and propensity for painting started at a very young age. At different stages he experimented with various styles and techniques, trying his hand at watercolors, pastels, acrylics and mixed media. Soon oil on canvas became his distinct preference. Cezar Secrieru has always admired realistic art and its astounding attention to detail, but as a result of experimentation he himself moved to abstract art.

He completed his artistic formation at the State Pedagogical University of Chisinau, the Faculty of Fine Arts in 1996. Later on the artist did doctoral studies at the Academy of Sciences of Moldova, with his research paper focused on comparative study of paintings in Romania and Moldova in the 60s and 70s. Currently he is an Artistic Counselor at the ULIM University, Moldova.

Cezar Secrieru represented Romania and the Republic of Moldova in different international institutions and galleries with many personal exhibitions.

TESTIMONIALS

“The artistic message of the painter Cezar Secrieru relates to a world of prime matter and a world of potentialities, explores the areas of the visible beyond appearances, the intimacy of being and the abyssal spaces of mystery. Cezar Secrieru’s art of painting is a perfectly individualized discourse through which he leaves the mundane immediate space, the one in which he can fix his landmarks and from which he can extract themes and subjects, in order to migrate to cosmic indeterminacy. The artist creates a unique aerial-aquatic-cosmic atmosphere, assimilated and processed from the outbursts of events. [He uses] a lyrical interpretation, loaded with an extreme ability to vibrate, on the edge of stellar interstices, nebulae, cosmic dust, which meet and merge in a great plastic and metaphysical spectacle. ”

“Creative through the specificity of the vision, professional in providing individualized solutions of any artwork, Cezar Secrieru has come to define his own style, unmistakable, with immediate effect on the sensitivity of the viewers. Meditative in the perimeter of poetry, lyrical par excellence, he proves insurgent in artworks with decorative succulence.  The abstract horizon amplifies the painter’s prospects of elucidating the topic of generating the visible, and the artist does not hesitate to support with the arguments of painting the idea that through the abstract we basically debate the theme of mystery. He establishes cordial relations between color and gesture and as a result his paintings are convincing and appealing.”
