For Lokal – Happy Life Mood

My third painting for Grolsch contest went to LOKAL.

Lokal is the place in the center of Bucharest, that once you enter the garden you forget where you are. Is a simple complicated world, where bohemian and fascinating simple, mix together to create a perfect relaxed moment.

In this simple fascinating word, I created a simple fascinating woman. In mystery and in beauty, in flowers and in shards, in the ocean behind her, in all the different things that we don’t expect to see, in what is not normal but in the same time is the normality itself. In attitude and in love we lose ourselves in the pure truth of our life. Maybe it’s me. Or maybe you. Or hope.

Acrylic painting on canvas, mixt media with Grolsch shards and caps and natural dried flowers.

          

For La Scena – The Asian Girl

The second painting in the Grolsch contest went to La Scena. La Scena is a pub, a bar, a restaurant and a theater all in one.

I was thinking at the Japanese masks as they symbolized the different roles in a play, like hero and villain. For this pub, I painted a beautiful Asian girl, and her expressiveness is beyond the face, is a much more universe going in her mind, exploding in powerful colors. Because as in theater and in real life, we don’t show all the beautiful emotions, and we just pretend the role that we assume to play. Her hair is rich in decoration accessories, including beer  Grolsch caps, feather and one of my own brush.

For Energiea – Live Energy

A few weeks ago I’ve sent 4 sketches to a contest made the beer brand Grolsch – Crafted for creative minds. The plan was to make paintings for 4 pubs in Bucharest (that I’ve choose from a list of 29 pubs), using beer bottles and to keep the theme of the art project related to the pub’s concept.  A few weeks later, I’ve been announced that I’ve won all the 4 pubs that I’ve choose! So, here it is the first painting, that now is in Energiea.

This pub is full of joy. In a steampunk / industrial mood with brick walls in a relaxed mood of being you, is the place to enjoy delicious food and listen to good music. This place really gives you energy. The concept is that in this painting, with a reconstruction of the bottle made using shards of Grolsch bottles, the energy flows through the wall to the people. Is the vibe within us. Acrylic painting on canvas with textured painting and shards of Grolsch bottles. Size 90 x 40 cm.
