Spaima is a 1981 by Corneliu Baba, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a dark, crowded scene with many faces pressed close together. The colors are mostly muted greens, browns, and blacks, with a few pale skin tones standing out. Some faces look upward, others sideways—it’s hard to tell what they’re reacting to. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, almost like the artist slapped paint on quickly. The faces blend into the background, making the whole scene feel chaotic and alive. If you like this style, look up impasto.
Corneliu Baba made prints and paintings that feel like quiet stories, often borrowing from older art.
