  • Ballerina - unique painting by Paula Craioveanu
    By Paula Craioveanu
    Located in Forest Hills, NY
    Gracious ballerina, in a moment of silence and meditation. Part of my "Nude in Interior" series Original painting, one a kind. No need for frame. Shipping directly from the artist's studio, stretched, wide stretcher. 15.7x15.7x2in / 40x40x5cm "As a woman artist I’ve been preoccupied with the female form and imagery. My goal is to capture the nude’s relation to the surrounding space and the solitary moments. My interest turned from depicting the space to depicting the atmosphere, and the feeling a woman adds to the environment: warmth, joy, a feeling of power and control, or the opposite – sadness, despair. The human figure is more present than ever in my paintings." Paula Craioveanu
