TEODORA AXENTE
Teodora Axente (born 1984, Sibiu) lives and works in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, where she received an MFA and Ph.D. at the University of Art And Design. Using a distinct dark palette, she addresses the themes of passing, transience, and refusal by imbuing the staged appearance of her figures with an elusive sense of beauty. Teodora Axente’s paintings simultaneously repel and try to restore the viewer to the present time by rendering common fabrics and textures with a remarkably refined pictorial technique.

ITA
Teodora Axente (nata a Sibiu nel 1984) vive e lavora a Cluj-Napoca, in Romania, dove ha ottenuto un MFA e un PhD all’Università di Arti e Design. Attraverso la sua palette scura affronta il tema del passaggio, la transitorietà e il rifiuto, infondendo all'aspetto inscenato delle sue figure un inafferrabile senso di bellezza. I dipinti di Teodora Axente respingono e cercano simultaneamente di restituire allo spettatore il tempo presente rappresentando tessuti e texture comuni con una tecnica pittorica di notevole raffinatezza.
DEU
Teodora Axente (geboren 1984 in Sibiu, Rumänien) lebt und arbeitet in Cluj-Napoca, Rumänien, wo sie an der University of Art And Design einen MFA und PhD erhielt. Mit einer ausgeprägten dunklen Palette thematisiert sie Themen der Vergänglichkeit und Ablehnung. Das erzählerische Element nimmt in ihrem Werk eine zentrale Stellung ein. Ihre Subjekte, die die Künstlerin in von ihr eigens konzipierte Szenen hineinsetzt, werden aus Leidenschaft, aus Selbstgefälligkeit, aus kompositorischen Anforderungen und moralischen Freiheiten zu Mannequins.
