Transposition of emotion
The need to understand how emotion can affect form, color and the aesthetic value of an artistic result led to the need for an archiving of different personal emotions in the form of diverse artistic mediums. The image that is imprinted in our mind is nothing more than the result of the echo of the external world. The image of the creative universe represents a finality formed from the perception of the visible world, the environment in which the creator carries out her daily life and her ability to filter, process and transpose her own emotions. The exposure concerns the treatment of the element that man can make use of to express thoughts or feelings, the use of a non-verbal communication translated through the power of the image, which in this case intervenes through the externalization of emotions materialized in the form of photography, digital processing or artistic object.
Oana Maria Popescu is a PhD student at the Faculty of Arts and Design of the West University of Timișoara, where she also got an MA in Painting – Sources and resources (2020), and a BA in Fashion Design (2016). During her studies, she benefited from a scholarship in Poland, at the Uniwersytet Rzeszowski, in Rzeszow, where she discovered an inclination towards the study of the symbol in Art, which became a defining element in her current works. Through the years, she has participated in multiple exhibitions both in Romania and abroad, and published in different Art magazines. Her PhD thesis, called Transposition of emotional effects from everyday life into Painting, brings together interdisciplinary research elements, which aim to create a connection between psychology and the creative process.
