Elena Boariu Opris

Investments in collective exhibitions and personal exposure. Diploma The most beautiful book (1972), Honorable Mention BIB Bratislava 1983. She signed the illustration of numerous books on literature.

(Little word on the catalogue of his personal exhibition in the gallery Caminul Artei, Bucharest, in July 1989.)

The first impulse felt in front of his drawings is to appoint as jewelry and artisan work, requires great attention and savoir faire gold.

But it was only the first impulse

Each drawing proposes to effect something advantage: a vision of life, a confession subtle, each drawing confesses something on a concern, a foray into the unknown or in the depths of the mind, a plastic exceed a tension of the mind.

The work of the artist is to go in depth and not make an obsessive repetition.

It seems that, insisting on a profile, a silhouette, a face, a suggestion landscape could get close to the true face of the imagination, in the structure of the dream sparkle, the perfect silence of the revelation in the calm of transparency.

The drawings of Elena Boariu have the structure of metaphors and we evoke echoes of the roaring lyricism.

There is an artist in this organic inability to abide by the rules of competition, things imposed on the spirit of competition; tranquility A wise brings us the secrets and the eastern Buddhist karma.

There is a power and at the same time a grace control paradoxes.

There is another impetus to his drawings, in front of his paintings and proud perfectionist, who keep a certain distance, a mystery, a kind of backwards thinking: that of simply putting it under the sign of the need for beauty.

And yet the paradox is that it does not seek beauty at any cost!
The drawings offer a state of mind, a mood, especially a world of thought, a relationship between the characters, a silent adventure in the library among the paintings of spider.

It is a path that leads us to problématisations major, to the paradoxes of a aga artistic passion is censored, under control, the enthusiasm is filtered by the wisdom, sometimes casually proves counterpoint of melancholies book.

I can not find a better characterization of this meeting with refined drawings Elena Boariu that Cocteau's words "my art is that I copy for yourself invisible."
