58. Mandala City [1979]

A modern artist of the 20th-21st centuries, Horia Damian carried out a rich artistic activity, expressed in various forms of language - painting on canvas, sculpture, installations, stained glass, etc. He made his debut as an artist in 1942, at the Romanian Athenaeum, where he held his first solo exhibition, and in the same year he also made his debut at the Official Salon (where he won the "Prize for Engraving"), as well as at the Venice Biennale. After studying architecture in Bucharest, Horia Damian moved to Paris, where he worked in the studios of André Lhote (1946-1947) and Fernand Léger (1948-1949). In Paris, he exhibited for the first time in 1952 at the Arnaud Gallery, alongside André Enard, Ellsworth Kelly, Nicolas Ionesco, Charles Maussion and others. Master of the fullness and completeness of compositional elements, colours, as well as a permanent inclination towards construction, his creation will venture into complex series, such as: "Reliefs in yellow surfaces", "Gates", "Thrones", "Constructions", "Great constructions", "Pyramids", "Galaxies", "Starry skies", "Hill", "Mastaba", "Signs of place", "Project for San Francisco", "Column", "Harbinger" or "Revelation".
