Viorela and Vintilă Mihăescu
have been sharing the same passions their entire life: for painting, for tapestry, for traveling... They also share their studio, since 1973. A large and bright space for painting, provided with all that is necessary for waving tapestries, which they also design and create together. Over time, they have created several monumental works of art, while in the last years, they have been receiving many orders for religious art. Together with two other colleagues, they founded "Group4" and organized exhibitions in many museums throughout Romania. They are present at nearly all major official exhibitions involving visual art - painting, drawing and tapestry. Their works are part of private collections or featured in museums.
| Viorela Mihăescu has presented a series of aquarelles of great chromatic refinement, in a dark range dominated by ocres which suggests the mark of time that has set over the architectural monuments of France and Italy, images that seem to have come from the memory of a distant voyage. Rubion, Torcello, Castiglion, Cortona, Siena or Venice are settlements belonging to a mineral world, which is suggested by a special way of execution where you can easily spot geometric structures very similar to mineral crystals. Hence the impression of an eternal time and an undefined space.

Vintilă Mihăescu, a restless soul in search of beauty and harmony, tries to grasp in painting the fleeting dialogue that appears between the dynamics of the human body and the animal or objects simbolism. His spiraled silhouettes are always in danger of being devoured by the images of animals, which transforms them from veritable caryatids in still life. An entire renaissance or baroque requisite redistributed in a modern space where the graphic sign is often left free, making the connection between the compositional elements.
