'sintetic autentic'

“Desi sintetic si negru, carbunele arde la rosu in desenele Elenei Copuzeanu. El nu mai traseaza mestesugite linii pe suprafeţe docile, imaculate. Deja muncita, marcata de lovituri, reveniri si reglari ale tirului de tuse de calibru tare, hirtia arata ca un cimp de lupta pe care se produc impetuoase descarcari de energie. O intensa vitalitate comunicata fulgurant, direct, opresiv, izbeste atit hirtia groasa, ce pare calamitata de vigoarea desenului, cit si ochiul privitorului, perplex in faţa unui spectacol frenetic ce se menţine miraculos in limitele hirtiei, expresiei, ale faptului cultural conform normelor. Aceasta impetuozitate ce trece dincolo de codurile de comunicare curente particularizeaza arta Elenei Copuzeanu. Desenele ei par imense formaţiuni vegetale sau minerale, alcatuite din cristalizari emoţionale subite, din muschi sau licheni de carbune ce arata (si nu doar reprezinta) starea de fapt, sensibilitatea exaltata sau bulversata, combustiile, arderile de tot ale unor stari evanescente, greu de numit altfel decit chiar cu desenele. Pe hirtia-revelator, carbunele sintetic taie brazda adinca a autenticului.” Erwin Kessler, 'Sintetic autentic'

About drawings

I'll write here without an exact order, some ideas about drawings :
-volumetric plans ( monumentality ) different degrees of volumetric spaces ( deepness, optical illusion, frontality)
-shadow and light, darkness, black opaque, pure white
-ability of this technique in relation with surface, to transform the entire surface in a living space, with a new reality
-the capacity of image area to absorb the viewer space and to give energie and vibrations
-the capacity of signs to achive a maximum of their potential tensious ( like in music when a sound give us the best of it, placed in a certain context)
-the white page is a counterpoint to energie and vigour of the dark, assert by  a clear-cut contrast
-the capacity of entire drawing to make difference between exterior space and signs space
-tactility, sensousness, spontaneous, impulsivity
-I take the informations coming at that moment like in real time composition
-monumentality versus detail
-human body versus abstract
