Petru Padurariu
The discovery of the artist Petru Padurariu is the voice of a young generation, a voice whose echo is beginning to resonate in Romanian galleries. The level of creativity and technical mastery achieved by Petru Padurariu is capable of demonstrating to any viewer, more or less knowledgeable, the true strength of talent and special plastic intelligence. The creation of the training period and the current one make up a unitary and cohesive repertoire, related to a grandiose vision of decorative elements in a realism typical of contemporary art, from the self-portrait to the urban landscape, the nude and the microflora. Petru Padurariu’s footprint in the forest of contemporary symbols is unique. The painter recovers the tradition of the great European masters and transmits it in his painting, a painting that does not refer to classical but rather current motifs.
