This miniature gem invites viewers into a private moment of emotional clarity. Ideal for collectors who appreciate contemplative, symbolic works and the expressive power of small-format art.

“Forgotten Memory” is a miniature yet evocative artwork capturing the fleeting, delicate nature of recollection. Two decorative line-art portraits emerge in vivid green and white tones, adorned with shimmering touches of gold pastel that dance across a rich black background. These figures symbolize the moment when a long-forgotten memory resurfaces—uninvited yet welcome—glowing with unexpected clarity and emotional warmth. The contrast between shadow and light reflects the bittersweet beauty of nostalgia and the way our minds preserve joy in the most hidden corners.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Ink

A strongly tinted liquid or paste that is used to mark paper or other printable materials. The design is done manually with a slab, feather, brush, or straightener.

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Mihaela-Sonia Enache

Romania

Contemporary artist Sonia Enache, who was born in Bucharest in 1987, focuses on the dynamic interaction between figuration and abstraction. Her striking compositions challenge viewers' perceptions and inspire [...]

Before enrolling at the University of Arts, Enache studied humanities and foreign languages. Her artistic journey started when a family member saw her emotive interest in art and its unfulfilled potential and encouraged her to explore many artists’ works and pursue an Art-related degree. Enache's works from 2007 to 2013 were trials and explorations and contributed to her graduation from the University of Arts and Design in Bucharest(2010-2013). During that time, she painted psycho-cubist portraits and abstract paintings and learned how to work with various mediums like oil colors, pastels, acrylics, and watercolors.

The seven years after marked a time in her life when her artistic output suffered due to existential challenges in her personal life. The challenges, over time, became the catalyst for an emergent style and shaped her relationship with expression through art. Later, she focused more on defining a personal style by exploring various painting techniques and themes, such as Humanity, Feminism, Introspection, the Beauty and Ugly Anthitesis, Psycho Cubism, Identity, and Emotions(2020-2023).

By making the significant decision to transition to oil painting in 2024, Enache considerably enhanced her language of expression with a new series titled "Escapes into the Vivid." In this dramatic, new, emergent style, burnt Siena tones fiercely distributed on canvas seem to radiate an almost palpable warmth and light, creating a dreamlike environment. Explored themes: Dream Worlds and Surrealism, Interconnectedness, Nature, Distortion, Contrasts, Illusion, Color and Mood, Fantasy, Mistery, Light and Dark Anthitesis, Symbolism.
