Manuela Moldovan

I invite the viewers to walk in my gardens, enjoy
the magic and the power of the flowers, to be captivated by colors and
fragility.

My inspiration comes from my mother's garden, I
visit frequently, or from all the gardens of the world.

I use a variety of materials, including molding
paste, acrylic, oil, cold wax, Japanese paper, edited photos, and different
textiles. I adore building images and lavish layers, depth, and texture.

I love the visual and emotional effects of rich
colors, and highly textured areas, especially on large surfaces.

My paintings are privately owned in Canada, US,
Hungary, and Romania.

Romanian-born Manuela Moldovan lives and works
from her home studio in Toronto.

She is a self-taught mixed media collage artist
and an elected member of the Colour and Form Society.

Educated and practicing as a pharmacist
contributed to her genuine creativity, which has grown over time. She returned
to a full-time art practice in 2017.

 The
paintings depict her search for a flourishing and prosperous life, dynamism,
and movement, inspiring the viewer.

During her artistic years, she got influenced by
Romanian painters, her art teachers in school, local Canadian artists, and
Vincent van Gogh, Matisse, and Klimt's stunning work.
