Description
Elena Popea (1879 - 1941) was a modernist artist of Romanian origin, born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. At the forefront of Transylvanian painting, she is known for her vast experimentation with form and style, with influences from Impressionism, Expressionism and Cubism. She first studied painting in Munich, and later on in Paris, being highly engrossed in the artistic discourses of her time.
Popea’s works depict varied subject matters in vibrant and evocative colours, from landscapes, still lives, and nudes to everyday scenes of labour, leisure, and communal celebrations. With an authentic approach to geometries and proportions, Popea depicts robust, strong characters, often engaging with aspects of women’s culture in rural contexts.
Popea had exhibitions internationally throughout her career, in countries such as France, the United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark, Greece, and Egypt. Her works are part of important public and private collections, including the British Museum and the Brukenthal National Museum in Sibiu.
