 Grecu Mihai Born 1916, died 1997. Master Mihai Grecu is an artist educated in the Romanian cultural space. By his complex and extremely gifted personality, M. Grecu revolutionized the plastic arts in Moldova as well as in the ex-Soviet space. Mihai Grecu is a fascinating and meaning-laden personality who managed to preserve the basis of Romanian art and give a sure orientation to the evolution of modern national art in our country. With a solar, colorist temperament of a rare pathetism, the painter becomes captivated by the harmony of colors, and the logic of each painting stems from the relation between warm and cold colors, between forms moving by their play of shadow and light. Mihai Grecu's work stands out by technological innovations such as collage, fluorescent or acrylic-based dies, various types of "bronze" and "aluminum" pigments. Technical experiments with modern dies have permitted him to discover the possibilities of the material, the finality of the relation between form and matter.
