Carnaval la Nisa is a work by Lucia Dem-Bălăcescu, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting is packed with wild, colorful figures on a sandy beach at night. A tall, red-robed character with a green face and horns stands center, arms outstretched, as if leading a chaotic parade. Around them, people in bright costumes—green, blue, red—dance, play instruments, and wave flags. The background shows a dark blue sea with a glowing golden building on the shore. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, almost like scribbles, giving the scene a lively, messy energy. The colors pop against the night sky, making everything feel alive and full of movement. If you like this wild, expressive style, check out the Museum of Ethnography for more works like this.
Lucia Dem-Bălăcescu (1895–1979) was an artist, born in Bucharest.
