Exhibitions

Starting September 18, 2025, Ana Iulia Mihesan's painting exhibition Layers of Memory can be visited in the Rotonda foyer of the Small Hall of the "I.L. Caragiale" National Theater. The exhibition's opening is scheduled for Monday, September 29, at 6 p.m. Based in Greece, Ana Iulia Mihesan studied art in Cluj-Napoca, both at the Romul Ladea High School and at the renowned University of Art and Design in the city. From the outset, she approached painting with great seriousness and with the modern intensity characteristic of those who studied in Cluj. She had several exhibitions in Cluj and Athens, and in 2023 she returned to Romania with her first solo exhibition at the Athenee Palace Hilton, which amazed viewers with its deeply profound paintings, generating an atmosphere and images of paradisiacal gardens or unique experiences. In a short time, he had several important exhibitions, culminating in "Transcendence" at the New Hall of the National Museum of the Romanian Peasant in 2024. Art critic Marius Tita, editor-in-chief of Radio Romania International and curator of Ana Iulia Mihesan's exhibitions in Romania, presented the new pictorial creation appearing on Bucharest's walls as a revelation: With a little boldness and a lot of sincerity, we could recognize Ana Iulia Mihesan's painting as the revelation of recent years in this field. Her painting is intense, powerful, and expressive. The atmosphere is essential, and the subtle chiaroscuro transports us into the world of great painting. It has been a long time since I have seen such a unique exhibition. The artist is discovering the Bucharest art scene, and the public in the Romanian capital is enthusiastically learning about a new work, the painting of Ana Iulia Mihesan. We look forward to seeing you on Monday, September 29, 2025, at 6 p.m., in the Rotonda foyer of the Small Hall of the National Theater in Bucharest, at the opening of Ana Iulia Mihesan's painting exhibition Layers of Memory. Dr. Marius Tita, the exhibition's curator, will speak about the artist's work and the significance of the moment. Public access is through the entrance on Bd. Carol. The exhibition will be open until October 15, 2025. Visiting hours: daily from 2:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., except Mondays.    Translated by Andreea Codrea-Boeriu
