Artist Statement:
www.CelinaGrigore.com
I learned to treasure the
objects and beings around me
not merely for their pictorial
quality but more for their
symbolic meanings and
potential archetypal
configurations. On the
infinite dome above, I may
instinctively contemplate the
illusory beauty of flying
wings. Beyond that, the
challenge is to open my eyes
wider and look for the inward
nature of flight. The process
of structuring my fantasy into
the solidity and character of
balanced compositions is a key
component of my mind and the
reason why my life is a
perpetual adventure. Dry
restrictions do apply to
tapestry technique; but when
my new piece is hanging on the
wall I only remember its
rewarding possibilities.
My late tapestries,
one-of-a-kind, haute-lisse
technique, with an average
dimension of thirty square
feet, evolve on a scale from
semi abstract to stylized
figurative. Subjects range
from forms of human
communication, such as stage
acting, to nature and
environment, such as earth
evolution and wildlife, from
mythology such as "The Trojan
War" series, to human - animal
interactions symbolizing
consciousness - instinct
coexistence.
