1946
From the collection of Moldova National Museum Complex
Sfântul Ilie is a 1946 by Ion Țuculescu, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This painting shows a dark, swirling figure with a glowing halo, holding a book and a staff. The colors are mostly deep blues, purples, and golds, with thick, uneven brushstrokes. The background looks like a stormy sky, while the lower half has a mix of earthy tones and flickering light. The figure’s face is shadowy, but the light on the book and staff suggests a holy or important role. The brushwork is rough, almost like the paint was scraped on in places. If you like this style, look up *impasto* next.
Ion Țuculescu was a Romanian expressionist and abstract oil painter, although professionally he worked as a biologist and physician.
