MY WAY
Ionel Alexandrescu perpetually rediscovers himself,[…] both passionately devoted to his art and possessed with a rare talent for creating sensitive and moving forms that touch the heart of the viewer.
Born in the beautiful countryside of southern Moldavia, one of the largest wine growing regions of Romania – a place where heaven touches the earth, the youngest of three decided, against all odds, to follow his dream …
After more than three decades of assiduous work, Ionel Alexandrescu perpetually rediscovers himself in his workshop, located in the heart of the beautiful City of Turin, both passionately devoted to his art and possessed with a rare talent for creating sensitive and moving forms that touch the heart of the viewer.
For the 30 years of his tumultuous career, as well as during his studies at the prestigious Academy of Fine Arts of Bucharest, where he graduated cum laude in 1983, Romania native Alexandrescu has consistently distinguished himself with an incredible talent and energy which he translates into evocative and compelling sculptural and restoration artworks.
Sculpting means much more than creating a shape, it means bringing your own creation to life.This could be the life philosophy of the sculptor Ionel Alexandrescu. He is an artist who, relentlessly, is searching for the essence of things.
His creations represent the search of the human being and his life made tangible
by using matter shaped with an infinite wisdom.
His experience evolved with a great commitment, a desire to transform the matter into a dynamic shape which reminds me of the futuristic artists. The Horses, the Female Body, large abstract creations, they all express a deep search of fantasy which is a feature of Brancusi’ sculpting style in the latest years.
