In eerie paintings of human figures constricted by an array of devices and materials, Teodora Axente explores states of internal crisis. Marked by a distinctive figurative language, Axente depicts her subjects in a surreal setting creating a world of her own, having one foot in the tangible or the material world and the other foot in the spiritual or the elusive. A member of the Cluj School, Axente shares with this young group of Romanian painters her dark, sultry colour palette and preoccupation with the uncertainty of the individual in modern society.
