Description
Ștefan Câlția is a Romanian contemporary painter whose visually striking canvases are known for their oneiric feel. Reimagining through certain symbols the places that shaped him, such as the grandparents’ village, or the Transylvanian landscape, Câlția illustrates precious still lifes, theatrical compositions or paintings with herbs and fields. His works are held in a number of private collections in Europe and in museums such as the Museum of Contemporary Art in Oslo, Norway, the HR Giger Museum in Gruyères, Switzerland, the National Museum of Contemporary Art Romania and the Brukenthal Museum in Sibiu, Romania. He was awarded the Grand Cross of the National Order for Faithful Service and the King Michael I Medal for Loyalty.
Meticulously painted, The Dreamer Girl, 1984 shows a feminine character with her look facing down, caught in a contemplative moment. The portrait contains something of Câlția’s burlesque characters, yet the composition with a dark background and the depiction of her rather simple, daily clothes renders a more tempered magical realist style, with the promise of an unknown story held by the girl’s object of gaze.
