Georgeta Stefanescu is an international artist, born in Bucharest into a family of craftsmen and living in Geneva since the 1990s. She discovered her passion for art around the age of 12 and trained in Romania at the Ecole des Arts Plastiques, the Université Populaire d’Arts Plastiques and at the Lycée d’Arts Plastiques N. Grigorescu in Bucharest, where she taught drawing.
At the end of her university studies and her degree in Fine Arts, her artistic research was in contrast with the artistic subjects politically and socially imposed by the Union of Plastic Artists of the communist period, so she withdrew from the artistic scene, deciding not to exhibit her works to the public anymore.
She later dedicated herself to designing patterns on printed fabrics, forced by the state to work as a designer for 3 years in a knitwear factory 100 km from Bucharest. She then devoted herself to scientific research on printed fabrics at Cepiu, the coordination institute of the Ministry of Industry on international trends in fashion and furnishings.
With her marriage and move to Geneva, after the political revolution in Romania in 1989, she returned to exhibit and devote herself to painting and sculpture.
Since 2005 she has been an independent professor of painting in Geneva, Switzerland.
She has won numerous medals and awards around the world with international success. She has exhibited in numerous cities around the world: Berlin, Paris, London, Barcelona, Innsbruck, Vienna, Shanghai, Beijing, New York, Brussels, Luxembourg, Saint-Tropez, Milan, Rome, Naples, Venice, Florence, Mantua, Lausanne, Geneva, Bucharest, Capri, Padua and many other cities around the world, impossible to mention them all.
The works exhibited here show us the particularity of Georgeta Stefanescu's artistic research that on the one hand embraces a philosophical painting of great depth, on the other hand her attention is directed to the use of the most unusual materials such as plastic, fabrics and other unconventional materials that characterize her as an artist absolutely free in visual expression. A rediscovered freedom, an award-winning talent that has been recognized internationally, Georgeta Stefanescu is among the most influential artists that we promote in Europe through constant exhibition activity and critical analysis. Her works must be observed with a dreamlike gaze, beyond reality, in the achievement of absolute freedom.
