Artist Statement -



My art is a combination between easel and wall painting. More pieces which are assembled together, creating a full image, a piece of work. Space, as usual, circumscribes the work, the wall ( the vital space around the picture ) is inserted in the piece of work, becoming in this way an element ( having plastic valences) of the composition.

The piece of work, in whose substance is also integrated the wall where it is placed, remindes of the wall painting , having a better comunication with the environment unbeing isolated from it by a frame or a closed shape ( square, rectangle etc).

The base of my painting consists of the plastic rhythm ( the whole composition relying on the arrangement of similar elements) and the use of different ways of the elements materialization ( brush-up ) .

Press Release ::: Agora Gallery


Matei Enric's paintings combine the techniques of easel and wall painting, creating images which both integrate and create an aesthetic environment of symbolism and intrigue. Enric draws on varied influences, including Byzantine painting and modern masters such as Malevich, Klee or Mondrian. The assemblage-like works create a scene by integrating their background: "Space circumscribes the work; the wall (the vital space around the picture) is inserted in the piece of work, becoming in this way an element of the composition." The compositions reveal fluid natural rhythms as well as materializing a fusion between visual geometry and linguistic communication.


Enric was born and studied art restoration in Romania and currently resides in Bucharest. He has exhibited his works across Romania in both group and solo shows, has restored many works of classical and ancient painting, and taken part in scenography for shows in Romania and France. His paintings can be found in private collections in Romania, Serbia, Hungary, Italy, and the United States.
