Vasile Mureșan Murivale

"There are artists for whom communicating the visual message in a lively space that they treat with unparalleled authority and generosity represents the most applied promulgation of the notion of imagination and effort. They are structures connected to all the turmoil and (in)justices of time, their work being a seductive and volcanic mixture of past, present and, especially, future. Praised or denied, but impossible to ignore, often overcoming incomprehensible adversities, they are those spirits devoid of gloomy egoism, and stretch creative fantasies in the wake of a permanent dream. One such dreamy nomad, who works against the canons, metamorphosing everything he touches with his eyes and hands, is Vasile Mureșan-Murivale. For years, this brave combinator has been making and unmaking, tempted by: shapes, volumes, perspectives, and experimenting, and disturbing stable things, and guiding us through his twisted rebellious lyricism, a large quantity of matter, which becomes a measure of diversity.”
