Description
Alexandru Țipoia (b. 1914 in Micșuneștii Mari, Romania - d. 1993 in Geneva, Switzerland) was a Romanian painter with Greek-Swiss heritage. Țipoia studied painting under the supervision of professor and artist Camil Ressu, graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bucharest. Țipoia is considered one of the most influential modern painters in Romania, alongside Alexandru Ciucurencu, Corneliu Baba, and Ion Țuculescu.
Țipoia’s paintings employ a wide palette of colours and strokes that engender intense and vivid atmospheres. His geometrical compositions describe a well-controlled and intricate painting process, giving the portrayed characters a vigorous effect. Over time, Țipoia’s practice expanded beyond painting to include the monumental and decorative arts, using a variety of media such as mosaics, frescos, and textile.
The works of Alexandru Țipoia have been exhibited locally and internationally in Italy, Hungary, Austria, Finland, Brazil, France, and Portugal, in both solo and group presentations.
