Art Critic Opinion

Marta Lock (Italian art critic)

Romanian artist Ioana Ursu is inspired by the atmospheres of Tamara de Lempicka, reinterpreting them according to her own approach to life and existence, thus retaining the decisive chromaticism and the almost edgy stroke both in the representation of faces and in that of the light that therefore appear to sculpt her protagonists and their clothes, but giving them a more expressionist version, symbolist in some canvases, thus softening the gaze and bringing out an interiority and sensitivity that in the artworks of the Art Deco master seemed to be hiding behind the algid and determined approach to a society in which women had yet to gain emancipation and the right to be able to a more central role. Ioana Ursu moves on a timeless dimension because for her it is essential to portray and celebrate women in all their facets, nuances of personality that she transforms into characters of the canvases, each female figure with her own characteristic and specific meaning of a mysterious, enigmatic and always incredibly emotional.

Francesca Callipari
Art critic and Art curator

Ioana Ursu is an artist with a profound interest in the representation of the female figure, reinterpreted through an aesthetic that blends classical elegance with the evocative charm of vintage advertising iconography. This vision is enriched by a contemporary sensitivity, expressed through a sometimes textural style of painting that lends her works a tactile and visual intensity.

Her preference for portraiture stands out strongly: faces and profiles emerge as figures of refined sophistication, wrapped in an aura of mystery and imbued with a subtle sense of glamour.
