Something about Ada Cartianu

           

                                                                                    STORY:



           



             








                                                                                  
From her childhood Ada Cartianu balanced her artistic passion between words and colors. Her love for colors and painting developed under the influence
of her great grandfather, Romanian painter C.V. Ionescu. He had the chance in his lifetime to meet and offer hospitality to the well known Romanian
sculptor Constantin Brancusi in  the period when he did come from Paris to Romania-Tirgu Jiu to do his monuments of art in honor of the Romanian
heroes of the first world war("Table of silence", "The Gate of the kiss","The obelisk of infinite"). His memories regarding  this special event of his life,
reflected in sketches and comments to each, helped Ada to discover the beauty of simplicity and sophistication; the freedom  of imagination in art.

At the age of 13 Ada Cartianu enrolled in art classes at the No.1 Art School from Bucharest to study to draw
and paint. The artists like Romanian painter Corneliu Baba, Octavian Florescu, Russian painter Wassily Kadinsky, Spanish painter's Salvador Dali and
Picasso, French painter's Toulouse Lautrec, Marc Chagall, Constantine Andreou, Mexican painter Frida Khalo, Austrian painter Gustav Klimt and
Hollandaise painter Vincent Van Gogh  have the most important influence in her artistic life because she says:
"Freedom for expression, freedom to see something more around
you and make it real for stranger eyes who can't see your world.
Creation is much more important for me when I can turn a dream
into a reality and share another side of beauty which doesn't come from
what everybody sees. For you a tree is a tree, for me a tree is a world of mystery"

But even though she enjoys using colors and paint her first love will always remain the books and the words. She
declared: "I can consider myself an artist as I have some talent from Life (you think that being God), but I feel myself
as a writer and I know this is my destiny. I was born for this and growing it's just a matter of time, practice and
ambition...like Dali said once "Intelligence without ambition is like a bird without wings"...I consider myself ambitious
and Life/God gave me allot I have to thank for. I have imagination...maybe this makes me an artist but I prefer to say I
have just another kind of eyes for life."

BOOKS & WRITINGS:
She had her own questions about life, God, human beings, from a very early age. She began to study Aristotle, Socrate, Plato, Kant, Nietzsche, Hegel,
Rousseau etc. at the age of 12. In mean time she read Romanian philosophers Petre Tutea, Emil Cioran, Mircea Eliade, Constantin Noica.
Reading the poetry of Romanian poets begining with Eminescu and contemporary poetry of Nichita Stanescu, Adrian Paunescu, Marin Sorescu, Mircea
Dinescu, Ana Blandiana her own thoughts, after years of study became the

descendant of Enache Cartianu, The patriarch of a prestigious Romanian family
with a very cultured, but tumultuous history.
She was privileged enough to grow up surrounded by academic and artistic
influences.
As a child, her first memorable contact with history and art was the Cula Cartianu.  
It is one of the most valuable monuments to 18th century Romanian architecture
and renown for its unique brick and wooden beam construction.
Converted into a museum in 2004, the exceptional ethnographic collection
preserved by her family, helped her understand the importance of her “Romanian
roots" and its contribution to art.

and published in a small edition -the book
"Dust in my eyes",

absurd revelation of love, betrayal, friendship, madness
and freedom.

Penguin" is a book about an absurd mystical world where
the free spirited people have the only chance to be free,
to live with passion for beauty, art, ideas and nature.

deep thinking."
