All my paintings have in common a mental reality, not a physical one.
I am against painting that is based only on observation and theory, painting as if done by robot, painting that has the safety net of theories in painting.
I want to explain what and how I paint, I will define it as a relationship between a mode of observation (internal and external) and a way of expressing it. This is the answer for which some works need to express the idea of figurative, others go to abstract or symbols and each one needs a different way to be realized.
I do not paint a landscape, idea, theme, in an established pictorial way, I do not follow the theories and clearly established criteria. Depending on the psychological state of what I want to express, then I use one of many modes of expression in painting.
In painting you can use color and size not only according to the physical reality, but also according to the mental reality. I am convinced that everyone had the surprise to find and find in places that have a different outline and other physical and emotional dimensions. After a while, longer or shorter, the fountain from which the water once drank changed its size.
I do not paint with the same emotion, but under an emotional complex, this is why some works are intuitive, others are strongly rationalized.
In each paper I had to tolerate the uncertainty, not knowing where the idea goes, to change the way the subject is played. There were quick endings, but there were also roads that closed and I had to resume and investigate what I want and I like the search.
I tried to formulate what happens when I stand in front of a canvas, without exposing all the "cognitive maneuvers", the interpretation is left to those who regard, the benefit is both.
This is what those who have already started digesting my paintings from the three years since I woke up in painting know this.
So let's see outside what is not foreign to us inside!

The National Village Museum "Dimitrie Gusti" invites you on Saturday, March 19, 2022, at 2.00 pm, in the Glass Hall, to the opening of the exhibition of sculpture signed by Nicu Dumitrescu and painting signed by Eliza Matica, members of the Association of the Fine Arts, Religious and Restoration Branch of the Romanian Fine Arts Union. The curator of the exhibition is Dr. Marius Tița, art critic.
" [...] Eliza Matica's painting is intensely introspective, rendering complex human universes, revealing landscapes beyond the real. The message of her art is evident and underpins each painting, each plastic construction of those presented in the exhibition. There is nothing comfortable about it, nor can there be when we are held up to an intelligent mirror. We are talking about searches, anxieties, doubts, aspirations, desires, dreams, in a plastic effort to distinguish between options and endless visions of reality", Dr. Marius Tița, art critic.
The exhibition can be visited from 19 March to 3 April 2022, from Wednesday to Sunday, from 9:00 to 17:00, at the Glass Hall, Șos. Kiseleff, nr. 30, sector 1, Bucharest.

A new exhibition of the painter Eliza Matica with sculptor Nicu Dumitrescu. A natural synergy between painting and sculpture, a dialogue between color and shape, between touch and contour, between two fine arts.
An experiment-exhibition as a reconciliation of the two art-sisters, long separated in contemporary exhibitions.
The opening will take place on the 26th of March, starting at 18:00, being hosted by Qreator, one of the most beautiful exhibition spaces in Bucharest. The art critic, Dr. Marius Tita, will open the exhibition with the depth with which he has accustomed us.
The exhibition will remain open until 02.04.
The access to the opening is free but based on invitation and allowed only to persons over 18 years.

On exhibition- The Messenger
"The Messenger" is a religious painting I had made especially for the "Winter Exhibition" organized by the "Romanian Visual Artist Union" and "Religious Visual Art and Restoration Association".
An angel that is announcing the birth of God.
But the Angel have the back turned on us, the viewer.
I will let the viewer understand the painting according to his own history.
The exhibition will be opened until 8th of January 2020 at „Horizon Gallery”, Bucharest, Romania.
At this exhibition there are some many exceptional works that worth the effort.
My painting is also available for purchase online.
