„Art have to be only joy” used to say Constantin Brâncuşi. For Dr. Nour Foundation for Art and Heritage it is indeed. The second year of existance brings the second Art camp organised at Malta and it’s theme was „Romanian Mona Lisa”. Paradoxical?! What Malta has in comun with Mona Lisa? Nothing... except the letter M.
The aim of Dr. Nour Foundation camps is to let the artist free on the lands full of history and beauty so that the artist has time and availability to discover forms of the forigner beauty in order to be closer of the romanian one. Located in the central of Meditereanean Sea, floaded by water and sun, Malta combine the natural beauty with thousands years of history. The portrait of Magdalena Radulescu doesn’t have such a long history, but it reached the an impressive age: 64 years old. This means, tens years ofhistory of beauty, of grace, of fine features – all comprised in a paiting true named Romanian Mona Lisa.
The artists invited at Malta to surprise in own style the innocence of the Romanian Mona Lisa were: Mirela Trăistaru, Vitalie Butescu, Ştefania Stroe and Marius Stroe – two painters and two sculpturers. You can admire what come out from their hands!

This was the first project of the new born Foundation and for sure it was not be the last one. The main goal of the event was to promote the contemporary romanian art.

We don’t have a specific theme because we want to let the painters’s imagination to fly free. We wanted to see the spirit of balcic surprised in the canvas painted by the participating painters. So, just look the paintings!
