Opening of the exhibition “Victor Rotaru: Reflections in Colors”
September 21, 2023
On Thursday, September 21, 2023, the opening of the painting exhibition "Victor Rotaru: Reflections in Colors" took place at the National Museum of History of Moldova. The exhibition tells an unwritten history of the artist Victor Rotaru and aims to familiarize the public with the artist's work, to awaken interest in the discovery and understanding of this personality, whose creations deserve fame, artistic appreciation and admiration. The paintings stand out for their original artistic style and color palette, expressiveness and plasticity of forms. All this gives them a special charm, emotionality, and evokes feelings, which are largely contradictory. During the presentation of the exhibition, Alexandru Argint, deputy director of the museum, spoke about its main idea, the desire to attract public attention to the artist's creations, through which we can appreciate the talent, skill and courage with which the artist interpreted those times, of Soviet realism, and emphasized the importance of Victor Rotaru's personality for the art and culture of our country. Sergiu Cliucnicov spoke about the man and the artist, about his personal and artistic choices, and that the works of the artist Victor Rotaru deserves to be presented to the public, to be studied and exhibited. Renowned painters, cultural and artistic figures, and admirers of contemporary art attended the opening. All those present were pleasantly surprised and appreciated the artist's courage, skill and the way he expressed thoughts, accumulating impressions, emotions and experiences, which somehow changed the shadows and penumbras in each painting. The works of Victor Rotaru inevitably retain the imprint of the difficult times in which he lived, but each of them carries a deep philosophical message that reflects his artistic essence. The paintings presented in the exhibition are collected and preserved by the Cliucinicov family, and many of the artist's works are exhibited to the public for the first time. Therefore, this exhibition creates interest and serves as an explanation and inspiration for a deeper understanding of the artist's life and work, and visitors can see works that convey messages filled with memories, emotions and feelings experienced throughout the artist's life. The painting exhibition "Victor Rotaru: Reflections in Colors" can be visited from September 21 to October 21, 2023 in room no. 1 of the National Museum of History of Moldova, Chisinau, 31 August 1989 Street, 121A. We cordially invite all art lovers to make a foray into the world of colors of Victor Rotaru.
