Research information

The artwork was part of the exhibition "Sabin Bălașa. Blue," Art Safari, 2020, Bucharest, and is reproduced in the exhibition catalog, page 100, under the title "Couple."

Known as the “painter of the celestial blue,” Sabin Bălașa contributed to visualizing art in relation to the universe. With a significant body of work for the Romanian space, the artist continued the romantic tradition, maintaining in his pictorial universe, alongside the recognizable blue, a dreamlike aura. In the magazine “Flacăra,” in an interview with the artist, Sabin Bălașa said: “Everything we imagine exists somewhere in infinity. There is also what we do not imagine.” Thus, his blue world, populated by guiding animals and muses, is the result of experiences accumulated over the years by the artist. His pictorial universe is based on myths and legends from folklore, and his canvases, flooded with blue, function as if suspended frames in time. For Sabin Bălașa, the use of blue in painting represents a strengthening of his faith in eternity. Blue also facilitates the passage into the realm of dreams, becoming an omnipresent element in the artist’s works. The current work, titled “Eden,” proposes a reimagining of the biblical story of the first humans, Adam and Eve, on stage. Sabin Bălașa depicts the first humans surrounded by vegetation and a sea of blue,
