DIANA CEPLEANU

In her works, Diana Cepleanu processes impressions from her surroundings, reflecting on her subjets from a personal and intimate perspective. Cepleanu is by choice a discrete presence in the Romanian art scene.
Yet, her paintings are powerful and convey a sense of timelesness that connects her with artists of her generation such as Ioana Batranu, although they have very different approaches. Whether she is painting the portraits of her children, her self-portraits or elements from nature, Cepleanu acts with a sharp sense of observation, revealing the essence of people and things that surround her: from onions and cabbages, wild flowers or trees in her favourite corner of a Bucharest park to an empty plastic bag shaped by the wind.
