A representative of the modernist era, in the spirit of which he expressed himself, the artist Ciucurencu is the creator of a work with a propensity for intensity. Having started after the First World War and lasting until the end of 1977, the artist's creation is devoted to a luminous vision, alongside synthesis, analysis, and construction. From the very first exhibitions, the artist focused on the whole, as well as on the atmosphere. After his contact with Paris, where he stayed for two years (1931-1933), some innovations appeared in his work. His technique followed pictorial effects, which rely on a dynamic handling of tones, on transparent combinations, along with a prominent investment of colour. In addition to still lives, compositions of odalisques, ballerinas, or women with guitars, subjects reminding of his formative years - make an appearance. (G.M.)
