Paula Craioveanu employs expressive, visible brushstrokes, giving the piece a textured, dynamic quality. This style lends a tactile feeling to the figure’s skin and emphasizes the natural imperfections and beauty of the human body. The warm flesh tones contrast beautifully with the cool blues of the background. This juxtaposition creates a tension that draws the viewer’s eye to the figure while enhancing the depth and atmosphere of the composition. The light source is carefully considered, with highlights and shadows adding dimensionality to the body, particularly along the legs, arms, and torso. The interplay of light captures the realism of the human form but with an impressionistic flair. The figure’s slightly twisted, folded pose conveys a sense of introspection and tension, suggesting vulnerability or self-reflection. The positioning of the figure on the chair feels intimate yet powerful. The background, a rough, textured blue, contrasts with the smooth rendering of the figure. This negative space adds focus to the subject while maintaining visual interest with its abstract feel. The ornate chair gives a subtle classical touch, suggesting a juxtaposition between the human form and historical art. The partial concealment of the face creates intrigue and anonymity, encouraging the viewer to focus on the body language and emotional tone. The naturalistic approach to the body embraces imperfections, presenting the human form as authentic and unidealized. The sturdy, ornate chair may symbolize the strength or permanence of tradition or the human spirit, in contrast to the vulnerability of the figure. The attention to anatomy and the seated pose recalls the works of artists like Egon Schiele or even echoes of Modigliani in its expressive distortion.The loose brushwork and expressive color usage suggest a modern, emotionally charged take on traditional figure painting. “Nude on Armchair” is a compelling piece that blends realism with expressive artistic elements to create a powerful emotional and visual impact. Artist Statement "I started by painting interiors, being interested in space and perspective through my studies. These scenes evolved, when I added the human figure. I focused more on the human figure and its relation to the background. The human figure is more present than ever in my paintings now. As a woman artist I’ve been preoccupied with the female form and its imagery. One of my goals was to capture the solitary moments and the nude’s relation to the surrounding space. My interest turned from depicting the space to rendering the atmosphere and the scene as a whole, the feeling a woman adds to the environment: warmth, desire, joy, a feeling of power and control, or the opposite – sadness, despair. Here is a collection of figurative paintings, exploring the nudes in interior spaces, seeing the nudes from my perspective, as a woman artist, considering the physical and spiritual realities of a woman’s body, in a new level of intimacy. My paintings are the opposite of objectifying a woman’s or a man’s anatomy. Painted works, featuring female nudes and a also men nudes, in a reversal of the male-artist/female-muse pattern, validate the feminine experience, defining myself through it. I was interested in how one experiences the body in a sensual form, and later focused on my own body, as I experience it myself, looking into the mirror and reconnecting. My work challenges the tradition of the nude by capturing my point of view, the gaze of a female painter, by using photography, drawings, sketches, and painting on canvas, for, both physical and psychological exploration. My art tries to create a visual language for emotion, beauty, feelings of intimacy and in the same time autonomy, captured with paint and vivid colors. My intense interest in colour and the gestures of the brush strokes are the means I see and convey the subjects in space, as living, passionate beings."
