18. Children with Horse [1979]

From his debut on the Bucharest stages, Mircea Ciobanu will gradually penetrate into important collections, both in the country and beyond its borders. Although he initially decided to attend the Faculty of Architecture in Bucharest, young Mircea Ciobanu will secretly enroll and be the first admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts in 1969. He was a student of Corneliu Baba, so it is not surprising that we find in his works the influence of his master. Dubbed an alchemist of painting, Mircea Ciobanu was himself a veritable baroque presence and borrowed from his works the characteristics of Rembrandt, Goya or El Greco. We will also find Flemish reminiscences in the realization of chiaroscuro, but also clear references to Commedia dell'arte, as happens in the present work. Starting in 1981, the artist settles in Switzerland and begins to have contact with important personalities in universal art and culture. He will form a friendship with Annie Chaplin, Charlie Chaplin's daughter, who, over time, will acquire several works created by the artist. Once he moved abroad, he regularly exhibited on the stages of renowned galleries and became more and more present in reputable collections. Contemplating his work, we find a magical universe in which various muses are gathered: harlequins, musicians, nymphs, horses or children. The artist's preferred technique is the classic one, with evident Renaissance valences, and the symbol, myths, and stories are omnipresent.
