“Following the pursuit of some tellurian searches, Carmen Olteanu conceives her creation through the laborious study of nature. Dedicated to the recognizable forms, the artist depicts on the canvas a seen part full of significance that transmits emotion through every stain of colour. Oscillating from landscape to portrait, from an impressionistic approach to photorealism, the painter builds her compositions through broken tussle and colourful gradients. By shaping with craftsmanship forms detached from the immediate present and moods the meaning of which is contoured by portraits, Carmen Olteanu fructifies, synthesizes and transforms the reality in a positive manner.”
