A student of the "Institute of Art History" in Bucharest, which he graduated in 1955, followed by further studies in Siena and Perugia, Sabin Bălașa will prove to be a prolific artistic presence from the second half of the 20th century. Starting with 1955, his paintings are exhibited during main collective events in the country, private exhibitions, and Romanian art events abroad. Revealing a true passion for figurative art, centred on the human being and the relationship with the universe, the artist Sabin Bălașa would be the author of an art swept by myths and mystery. The cosmos, the place where he will place the actions of his compositions, will be dominated by blue, contemplated by the artist as the most distant of lights, conveying a sense of eternity. Around the cosmos the artist will dress universal themes in symbols, such as: peace, youth, motherhood, love, spring, homeland, life, death, victory, s.o. (GM)
