by ALESSIA PERRONE
  "The  artist  Manuela  Moldovan  explores  new  artistic  techniques  by  inspiring  herself from nature.
 She  unites  materials  as  the  oil  painting, the cold wax, the alcoholic ink and the acrylic, or even elements as the sand and the cotton, by using the originality of the photos’ collage technique or of the fabrics based on supports, which are every time always different.
 The surrounding environment’s beauty attracts the artist to such an extent that she creates new compositions based on a flower and naturalist theme, through those the life and the energy emerge inside the artwork itself.
 As in My Fantasy Forest, the artist intertwines her vivid passion with the color emphasis and the picture verticaly. This artwork opens up the door to a new ideal world, where the  forest  could  represent  a  place  for  leisure  and  adventure  or  being  the  center  of  the  supernatural.
 Through  these  so  bright  tones, made possible by using the green as the main color on the canvas, the artist invites the observer to leave aside all the concerns, in the search for a flourishing and prosperous life  where the imagination becomes the so-called “turning point”, that essential element which triggers the dreams, capable of making them endless. The background remains neutral, by linking this nuance to the central forest, emphasizing it even more. For this reason, by simulating long, substantial and swirling brushstrokes overlapped one another, the artist gives an extreme strength and dynamism to the whole picture. Their movement originates from the bottom up, as if they are eager to reach and connect with the divine and the supernatural".
