Research information

The work participated in the exhibition "Modern and Contemporary Painters in Romanian Art," Adjud, June 2003.

Following the musicality of the studied color alongside master Alexandru Ciucurencu, Constantin Piliuță claims a unique, specific, and independent place in the plastic arts, separate from his teacher. Constantin Piliuță is not a sensualist of colors; he does not seek to capture color in an acute state but rather captures the lyricism of nuances. The warmth of colors does not confront fleetingness with reticence; on the contrary, skies, flowers, and people live in atemporality. Despite the fading nature, Piliuță’s works continue to be traversed by the thrill of life through the organic spontaneity with which they are created. To allow the pictorial surface to breathe, Constantin Piliuță almost completely eliminates dark tones in favor of luminous pigments. For the artist, the painting primarily represents a field of light onto which he projects scenes from everyday life. Thus, his pictorial universe is characterized by a continuous remembrance of life through singers, dancers, horses, or flowers. In most of his paintings, especially those with flowers as the main subject, a mass of white dominates, carrying with it a sense of tranquility. “When it sleeps, it breathes flowers; when it wakes, it paints them and spreads only joy,” said F
