My Little Romanian Girl - "Romancuta"

I miss my family from home in Romania and again that invisible hand painted this Romanian folk style painting on linen canvas. The girl is wearing a Romanian traditional costume. The three colors white, red and black, are the most representatives for Romanian Folklore.

Title: "Praslea cel voinic si merele de aur"

mixed media, 2006

8 x 16 inches

This is a painting for children and for the child in everyone of us. My Romanian friends will feel familiar with it because it represents the a Romanian fairy tale - "Praslea cel voinic si merele de aur" - about a prince who had to guard his father's gold apples tree, from a monster who was stilling the gold apples. So the prince had to watch for the tree every night, in order to find out the thifh and knock him down. And so begins a very beautiful tale, that my mom and grandma use to tell me as bedtime story when I was a baby, and that I will tell my children when the time will come.

An artist at Las Vegas!

Recently came back from a trip to Las Vegas, the city of lights! A city which is alive mostly after the sun goes down. Amazing things to be seen, fake and artificial, yes, but still beautiful. I especially liked The Venician with its impressive reconstruction of Italy views but in a perfect manner, untouched by the time. The Sistine Chapel's copy and The Canal Shops with its gondolas and a clear blue water, with the fake summer sky and the architecture, makes you forget for a moment that you are not in Europe. Las Vegas in the last couple of years has become more a city for entertaining than for gambling. And this seems to be the future: the shows! Of course you may gamble, right from the airport, you barely put your feet on the ground, as in the same moment hundreds of slot machines welcome you right there at the gates. Wherever you go, you see casinos, they don't know what to give you for free anymore, just to make you enter and gamble. But see, that's the catch! If you can visit Las Vegas and enjoy everything without gambling more than just for fun, than you really can have a wonderful vacation in this city!Concerts, shows, events this seems to be on vogue right now. I have seen Cirque du Soleil everywhere presenting shows that are behind the imaginary. It seems that Guy Laliberte had a dream and transformed into reality. This is what I call artistic genius! Bravo Monsieur Laliberte!
