"Nicolae Alexa belongs to the rare species of upright, determined and reliable human beings. He managed to be realistic and dreamy at the same time. As an artist he encounters the world with eyes that instinctively search for beauty, for the essential, for the miracle of the instant. The absence of a formal artistic education proves an advantage, allowing his perception to remain unaltered and truthful. The tender embrace with which he approaches his 'sujets' fascinatingly materializes in his work." |
