Here, light is not merely a physical phenomenon but a social and spiritual structure that itself creates the weave of our reality. The concept of —mimicry o nature— becomes an analytical tool for understanding the dynamics that shape our interaction with the environment. In this vision, man transcends the role of mere observer, becoming himself a luminescent source, reflecting and amplifying the primordial cosmic energy.

The artistic inspiration of Valeria Glibiciuc springs from a complex landscape of essential influences and experiences. The artist bases her creation on a profound appreciation of the majestic power of nature, using this primal force to explore ephemerality and cyclicality. The practice of ecclesiastical painting, an integral part of her family heritage, adds a spiritual and unique dimension to her works. The accuracy of the lines and the light colors evoke the influence of byzantine painting, while abstraction serves as a tool to reveal the transformations of contemporary times and convey complex and subtle emotions.

The vibrant color palette, circularity, and the movement of repetition create a dynamic sensory experience, urging us to recalibrate not only our vision but also our thinking. It’s as if “we see the world with new eyes,” discovering that reality is more fluid and nuanced than we ever imagined. Human figures, landscapes, and natural elements become predominant in her compositions, blending into a dialogue.

The exhibition thus presents itself as a celebration of light in its multiple forms and manifestations. This exploration reminds us of the historical metaphor of “Diogenes’ Lamp,” which is said to have wandered the streets of Athens with a lit lamp in broad daylight. When asked “Why?” Diogenes replied, “I am looking for a man!” Just as Diogenes sought authenticity and true essence in a world full of appearances, the works in this exhibition aim to reveal not only external forms but also the essential depths of the human experience.
