Narrative, fantastic, and folkloric, the work of the artist Georgeta Năpăruș discloses itself as a world woven from awakenings and metaphors, where the richly coloured palette is spread in a festive, solemn manner. Having elaborated a personal manner of creating, alluding to an oneiric space of surrealist persuasion, together with a narrativism reconciled with composition, Georgeta Năpăruș gives rise to a work of rare epic essence. Along with the epic essence, an important role in her creation is the imaginary, which represents nothing but another facet of reality, fulfilling, at the same time, the role of leading the real to the extent of its intimate longing, thus being converted into a poetic expression, into an ideal art. (G.M.)
