Icoan be
From the collection of "Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum
Icoan be is a work by Ana Deji, depicting flower, held at "Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum.
This painting shows a bearded figure with a glowing halo holding a small book in one hand and pointing upward with the other. The figure’s face is simple and serious, with bold black lines for the beard and eyebrows. Below, a smaller figure lies on the ground, arms crossed, looking up at the standing figure. The background is packed with bright, swirling colors—greens, reds, and blues—that create a busy, patterned look. The standing figure’s robe is striped in green and brown, while the halo has a mix of gold and dotted patterns. This piece is part of the Museum of Ethnography collection.
