Old Paintings(2008-2013/2020-2023)

Enache's works from 2008 to 2013 were trials and explorations and contributed to her graduation from the University of Arts and Design in Bucharest(2010-2013). The seven years after marked a time in her life when her artistic output suffered due to existential challenges in her personal life. The challenges, over time, became the catalyst for an emergent style and shaped her relationship with expression through art.

Some works were exploratory sketches, while others were approaching various abstract subjects. The portraits, created on both canvas and paper impress the viewer through bold lines painted with oil colors or ink on simple backgrounds.

“The black and white contrast and the use of negative space is one defining feature of my first works which are building a relationship between subtle feelings and introspective contemplation versus bursts of sadness, anger, and passion. These works mirror my deep desire to visualize and make portraits of a rich inner world of feelings that are part of being human.
