Description
Eliza Popa, born in Bucharest in 1967, studied painting at the National University of Arts in Bucharest under the guidance of Ion Sălișteanu and has been a member of the Union of Visual Artists since 1997. Her oeuvre is defined primarily by landscape, a genre she explores through plein-air practice and a sustained dialogue with both urban and rural motifs. The artist constructs her compositions with a marked tendency toward geometric structuring, balancing rigorous drawing with a chromatic register that favors cooler tonalities. Popa avoids anecdotal or spectacular subjects, instead focusing on the silent persistence of streets, houses, and corners of the city, depicted as if suspended in time. The absence - or discreet suggestion - of the human figure contributes to the atemporal character of her imagery, while her control of light underscores the painterly dialogue between structure and atmosphere. Alongside landscapes, she has also developed still lifes, which differ through a warmer palette and softer compositional rhythm, pointing to the duality of her pictorial language.
