Chianciano 2013 Exhibition
“Multi-dimensionality can also be discovered in Nicolae Haiu’s work, in his third year of Master’s of Arts at the National Romanian University of Arts. Combining techniques learnt with intuition, his works turn out to have many layers of meanings, which is unexpected in such a young artist. The suggestions of faces and figures floating through his beautifully textured paintings, lend them an extraordinary feel, as if figures from mythology, or the collective unconscious had come to peek at our ordinary reality. This superimposition of past, and future, myth and reality gives one captivating glimpses into a world inhabited by mysterious beings at whose identity one can’t help but wonder, whilst wanting to touch the supposedly grainy texture created on canvas by paint. He has had group exhibitions at the national level already. Two more international exhibitions lined up. The Honourable Mention he received for the Biennale Leonardo Award was well-deserved.”
