The image of the woman in the painting of Valentine Rusu-Ciobanu

Abstract

Valentina Rusu-Ciobanu’s work stood out expressively in the list of national fi nearts of the twentieth century. The artist’s easel painting highlights various genres, themes or free compositions, which evoke in a very sensitive way the artistic vision of life and contemporary society. The depth of the messages is evident in the figurative representations, persistent in all the creative stages of the artist. The human figure is not only an object of representation of civilization, but rather a conceptual form of expression of ideas, feelings, or realities.
