An artist with a wide culture in the realm of the fine arts, conscientiously presented in the details that sometimes are pushed close to the veil of illusion; some of her paintings with floral themes dare to break even the barrier of what is usually called “trompe l’oeil”: by Delia Avram you are in front of a color seal, disintegrated in a moment of beauty, with almost sonorous vibration.

The chromatics of the works evolves towards stand-alone language, with surprising accents. The color is sometimes turned, sometimes deviated theatrically, then frozen in meditative, even ascetical monochromes. A such vigorous practicing of the color deserves its own becoming, assured by the innocence of the encompassing gesture that assures the balance of the parts: the works of this artist are expressing life and are continuously coming to life, suggesting an extensive classical space, with epical unfoldings of histories still unknown, with representations reminding the virginal territory of effigies and emblems from ancient times – chimeras of the major moral virtues.

 

The final result surprises: you are confronting yourself with an enthusiastic purifying process of the artistic thinking, purging every trace of extraprofessional impulsions, with a guild consciousness that inspires respect: sometimes it seems that you are the witness of a work of restoration of her own dreams, with an endeavor of concentration on the accurate representation of beauty. The whole of the image demonstrates exuberance in the knowing of light – its struggles are trapped as if in an immutable glass sauce, with photographical, scientific precision, as in the moments when you are exploring a lucid dream. The thematic evolves between elaboration and spontaneity, being always surpassed by a discrete but ardent process of releasing of the composition towards its plastic purpose. The artist asserts: “I paint only when I get beyond the idea, where the soul of the world is pulsating.”
