Description
Neculai Păduraru (b.1946, Sagna, Neamț) is a Romanian sculptor and painter who graduated in 1975 from the National University of Art in Bucharest under the close guidance of his teacher Paul Vasilescu. His works have been presented in solo and group shows in countries such as Italy, France, US, Greece, Turkey, Spain, Hungary, and Romania.
Păduraru's artistic practice was profoundly influenced by Constatntin Brâncuși's approach to sculpture and Henry Moore's vision of modern art. Through a skillful and versatile technique, Păduraru’s sculptural language is defined by his enthusiasm for mythological literature and modern representation techniques.
His sculpture Iuganu's Dream (1986) may be read as an uncanny encounter between two humanoid mythical creatures, morphing into a singular and self-sustained entity, as their bodies are flowingly juxtaposed.
In 2018, Neculai Păduraru received the Constantin Brâncuși Prize awarded by the Romanian Cultural Institute (ICR).
