ManuM

Romanian-born Manuela Moldovan leaves in Toronto.
She is a self-taught artist and elected member of the COLOUR AND FORM SOCIETY.
Educated and practicing as a pharmacist contributed to her genuine creativity that has grown over time.
Manuela started painting with oil colors on stretched canvas using a brush, palette knife under the influence of traditional local artists. Over the years, she was captured by the depth and complexity of mixed media and fell in love with the texture, volume, dimensions, the overall visual effect.
Traveling around the world has allowed me to ignite my passion for photography. Slowly, my thinking and creativity process grew up. I started to insert in my acrylic or cold wax/oil paintings small areas cut from my photographs. It became an exciting process because any detail of my surroundings could be a source of inspiration. A decayed wall of a building, the natural design or shape of a gemstone or granite piece, or mushroom growth on a trunk tree, photos taken sometimes in the middle of nowhere, are present in my floral, forest fantasies or landscapes.
In my current practice, I use a variety of materials, molding paste, acrylic, oil, cold wax, Japanese paper, prints of my pictures or artworks, and different textiles. I adore to build images and lavish layers, depth and texture.
Working with a variety of materials helps me to dig into the complexity of our surroundings, and to revive the energy and the density of the world as seen by myself.
Flowers are always a source of inspiration for me over the years.
Garden flowers and bouquets are my favorite subjects.
I invite the viewers to walk in my gardens, enjoy the magic and the power of the flowers, to be captivated by colors and fragility.
