Research information

The artwork is reproduced in the album "ColecÈia de artÄ: Marina Dimitropoulos", Maria Albani, Romanian Cultural Centre, 2009.

Narrative, fantastic, and folkloric, the work of the artist Georgeta Năpăruș discloses itself as a world woven from awakenings and metaphors, where the richly coloured palette is spread in a festive, solemn manner. The costume is represented in the artist’s repertoire as a new evolutional theme, as a result of an excellent fostering of details. The new ornamental will have, as it did of old, metaphorical meanings expressed through specific textures and colour schemes. (G.M.)
