Măriuca’s House
Casa Măriucăi
2007 · oil on canvas, 57 × 47 cm
A low white house with a straight roof stands at the centre of the canvas, almost covered by the crowns of the surrounding trees; its walls, treated in bluish white with vertical strokes, are the brightest area of the work. Above, the foliage opens into a mass of golden ochre, olive green, brick red and blue, applied with the knife in broad slabs. Behind, the hill closes into a dense dark blue, and the sky above is clear blue. The foreground is ochre and reddish-brown ground with a few slender posts. The contrast between the white of the house and the warm mass of the crowns is the core of the composition.
In the 2007 catalogue the title is printed without diacritics, “Casa Mariucai”. The correct form, confirmed by the family, is “Casa Măriucăi” — Măriuca’s house.
