Today we take you to meet Romanian artist Ana Maria Micu. She is currently exhibiting over 20 of her newest creations in Taipei. Her works include paintings, sketches, murals and even animations. Our very own Stephany Yang takes us in for a look!

Many paintings we see here are of the plants inside artist Ana Maria Micu’s home studio. It is both her living and creative space. Besides paintings, she also made an erasure animation, which is an artistic technique that uses traditional two-dimensional images photographed over time.

The first image that starts this series is about me crawling from an enclosure It is a place of comfort. I absolutely must get out of there in order to follow my dreams and do what I want to do.

The themes of her latest exhibition in Taiwan are scaffolding and co-existing with nature. Her works are inspired by the life of Italian sculptor and painter Michelangelo.

Scaffolding comes from this lingering memory that I have of watching many years ago the movie "The Agony and the Ecstasy" which portrays the life of Michelangelo. I remember the difficulties that he had to face to climb the wood scaffolding that was constructed for him to paint on the ceiling. The personal message for the exhibition is that you should somehow overcome the limitations of your situation.

Micu is a visual artist from Romania. She graduated with a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Arts and Design of Cluj-Napoca in Romania. This is Micu’s fourth exhibition in Taipei.

I did a mural here on site. It is about the expansion of the soul, about providing a background for an existing painting that I did in my studio. We are thinking that the installation is immersive. The viewers could experience some sort of feelings in front of it. I hope they will come and see.

Micu’s solo exhibit will be held at the Mind Set Art Center till April 27.
