NORA CUPCENCU

Nora has made significant strides in the visual arts with a body of work that reflects her deep engagement with complex themes. Her career has included various group exhibitions and a notable solo exhibition, showcasing her evolving artistic vision and commitment to her craft.

Nora’s artistic focus delves into the themes of Eroticism, Sensuality, Death, and Transgression. Her long-term project “Eros & Thanatos,” inspired by the philosophical ideas of George Bataille, explores the tensions between erotic impulses and societal fears. Bataille’s concepts highlight the struggle with these impulses, often suppressed by religious asceticism.

Nora often employs automatic drawing, a technique that channels her subconscious and emotional states into dynamic compositions. This approach, shaped by her own impulses and memories, produces works that encourage viewers to contemplate the complex aspects of human experience, including pleasure, transcendence, emotional connections, and identity.

For Nora, visual expression is a means of self-reflection and understanding. Her projects are like mosaics, pieced together through varied approaches to offer insights into personal identity and her place in the world. Through her art, she not only confronts her own fears but also provides a space for others to explore the profound themes of erotism, death, and the human condition.
