Why Gabi’s Art? “Art” in German language means personal style, peculiarity while art is translated by “Kunst” ,

I played this English-German word game because I find that art is is a form of expression in a personal way.

And who I am.

I was born in a winter sunny day when my mom, who was doing laundry went from laboring to labor in no time. It was in 1975 in Targoviste, a small Romanian town where now one can visit the ruins of what used to be the headquarter of Vlad the Impaler, much better known as Dracula.

I spent my childhood in Bucharest and in a village nearby at my grandparents, whom were hosting most of my vacations and weekends. I lived a time of austerity of communism, when chocolate was rare and children would find happiness mostly in venturing into the woods, fishing and building huts of branches. Also hard work was not foreign to me and my two brothers. The field had to be worked and I saw many sunrises with the dew on my soles and the palms clogged with tobacco tar.

My teenage and youth was marked by the confusions of a postrevolutionary, misunderstood democracy. Like when the river meet the sea, the waters of the new democracy were tumultuous and the real values hard to glimpse.

I got to know myself better once I left the homeland, first for shorter time to the US and Canada and then to live in Czech Republic, getting easily closer to the country where me and my heart have found the home; Germany.

I am an autodidact in painting and in 2011 I have adorned with mountains my first canvas. Since then the oil paint and also the acrylics are sharing their secrets, tranceeding me in a sort of meditation, quieting my mind, getting me closer to just being and filling me with gratitude.
