Description
Marilena Preda-Sânc (b. 1955, Bucharest, Romania) is a Romanian visual artist who works with multiple media such as painting, drawing, video, photographic intervention, performance, and installation. Preda-Sânc graduated in 1980 from the National University of Art in Bucharest, and in 2002 she completed the PhD program of the same institution. Throughout her career she has won multiple awards and titles, such as the Ion Andreescu Scholarship (1978), ArtsLink Fellowship, New York (1998), and the Order of Cultural Merit in Romania (2004).
Intertwining traditional and new media art forms, and with a profound understanding of contemporary politics, Preda-Sânc is exploring pressing topics such as the relationship between nature and the human or the roles of representation. The examinations of women’s status in contemporary society that take shape in her paintings unfold through a multi-layered use of vibrant and contrasting colours. Preda-Sânc's paintings are keen observations of gender imbalances, gender representation, ageing, and other social inequalities including the discrepancies between East and West within and beyond the art world.
Her works have been included in both public and private collections, important institutions including the Albertina Art Collections, Vienna; MAO - Muzej za arhitekturo in oblikovanje, Ljubljana; the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Bucharest; and Kunsthalle, Nuremberg.
Currently, Preda-Sânc teaches at the National University of Arts in Bucharest.
