Mama is a work by Lucia Dem-Bălăcescu, depicting Character, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows two people in a dim room. One wears a bright yellow dress with red sleeves and stands near a dark, old cabinet. The other, in white with a pale face, leans against the wall. The colors are bold—orange walls, a red floor—and the brushstrokes are thick and uneven. A mirror on the cabinet reflects the first person’s back. The artist used quick, loose strokes that make the scene feel alive but rough. The lighting is flat, with no deep shadows or smooth blends. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint like this creates texture.
Lucia Dem-Bălăcescu (1895–1979) was an artist, born in Bucharest.
