Dorina Costras

In Dorina Costras’s work, the female figure becomes a territory of interiority. Close-up faces, suspended gazes, held breath: everything suggests a slow time, attuned to listening to oneself. Gold-medaled by the Académie des sciences, arts et lettres de Paris and honored by Mondial Art Academy, she deepens this quiet focus. The pictorial matter blends with metallic gleams that catch the light and trace around the subjects an almost sacred aura. Between cold and warm, chromatic contrasts set a sensitive tension where skin seems to vibrate. Recurring signs—stars, constellations, fragile wings—open figuration to a gentle symbolism on the edge of dream. She has exhibited in the United States, Switzerland, Romania, Italy, and across France. The viewer is invited to come closer, to slow down, to let colors and gleams do their work. Painting thus becomes a luminous space of silence, where emotion guides the gaze.
