Alexandra Titu
Lucretia Milea's style has been born out of her endeavor of meeting the exigencies of the contemporary decorative art, imposed on one hand by the impact with the industrial seriality and by the association with architecture (the specific of monumentality), on the other hand by that striving for originality which is the aim of modern art.
She has exhibited her artistic creations since 1974 (when she graduated the Fine Arts Institute from Bucharest) within the industrial creation fairs (EREN) and in the salons of decorative art. She is also the author of a work of monumental art inside the Section of Fine Ceramics in Ploiesti.
Considering the specific of the decorative art as being an image in which the form prevails over the significance, more precisely in which significance is implied, discreetly proposed and in no way rhetorical, Lucretia Milea has reached a simple way of expression, of a great purity. The objects are, mostly, combinations of modules involved in a game of exterior and interior spaces suggesting routes of certain “reason labyrinths”.
Sometimes to the game between reason and “mystery” there is added the dialogue between the rigorous form of the inorganic symmetry and the unforeseeable vegetal growth.
