Representative of the modernist era, in the spirit of which he manifested himself and "a colourist of a different kind", as collector Zambaccian described him in his writings, artist Ciucurencu will be the creator of a work inclined towards intensity. Beginning after the First World War and lasting until the end of 1977, the artist's creation will be devoted to a luminous vision, alongside synthesis, analysis and construction. Whether landscapes, static scenes, portraits, compositions with a social theme or floral, while severely reducing external details, the artist will pay great attention to material form, in which reality will become one of the starting points as well as a direct point of reference. Captured in close proximity to reality, flowers will often be among his favourite subjects. Treated "alla prima", in bold brushstrokes, along with pictorial syntheses and colouristic enhancements, the flowers will stand as testimony to a unique, modern creative evolution, in which the artist will prove his intuition as a great colourist. (G.M.)
