No.# 21 "Bendis" Painting

Laurențiu Ivan-Condrache, a contemporary artist from the heart of Transylvania, channels his creativity through abstract painting, exploring soulful depths and transforming them into images of haunting beauty. Living in a rich artistic environment, with Western influences and supported by patronage, Condrache weaves his art with the aesthetic history from Michelangelo to Warhol, all inspired by Croce’s philosophical spirit. His works are more than mere decorative pieces; they are unique creations, imprints of time, witnesses to emotions. In a world of rapid consumption and mass production, Condrache emphasizes the value of unique pieces, each carrying a part of his soul and capturing the precise moment of its creation. These works become bridges to the soul, visual dialogues that transcend the limits of time and space. “Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible what is not seen.” — Paul Klee For Condrache, art is not just an expression but a spiritual journey, a form of immortality. Each painting is a manifesto of the desire to endure, to leave a visual legacy that remains beyond the passing of time. Through strong contrasts and vibrant colors, his paintings symbolize the ongoing struggle to preserve beauty in an ephemeral world. Condrache firmly believes that true art is never consumed; rather, it transforms within the souls of those who behold it, offering them a new perspective and, perhaps, a fragment of its immortality. “I believe that there is no painting from which something good cannot be extracted. I invite you, wise viewer, to receive not only what I have painted but also what I have left hidden. View these works not with your eyes, but with your soul, for among them lies golden dust. Stay well, wise viewer.” — Condrache
