Marta Dimitrescu’s collages consist of photographs, drawings, and scraps of paper of different shapes, accumulated in a chaotic manner. With a risk of confusing or boring the viewer, Marta Dimitrescu boldly experiments with colors, structure, and design. Still, the artist manages to consciously add all the pieces together -emphasizing some elements, while partially hiding others - and give them a meaningful concept. The composition of Dimitrescu's work is the artist's construction of the reality we live in. Marta Dimitrescu uses her inspiration and imagination to respond to environmental degradation, which is a tremendous concern today. The artist seeks to awake our human senses. Her collages, suffused with metaphors, intend to challenge our perception of reality and happiness. The artist’s work leads the viewer through a serious of small images that evolve into a larger picture with a deeper meaning. The result is a fresh and clever art with an inspiring idea behind it.
Marta Dimitrescu’s art serves as a warning, it screams, “People wake up! Conserve our natural resources! Save the planet!” The transformation of the dark and gloomy warning into a visual form is done in an unusual way, combining pieces of information with a touch of wit and beauty. Our ability to consume has become a form of power. We live in consumerism world. And the scale of globalization has expanded to such a vast degree that it now affects the entire Earth and population. The consequences of our actions cannot be tracked, yet, the facts are present - about two-thirds of the world’s resources are being used up. Our planet suffers. Marta Dimitrescu is an artist who has found her own peculiar language that allows her to express her worries and raise awareness of this issue through contemporary art.
(Doneliya Deneva, Georgetown University Washington, DC)

================
Marta Dimitrescu introduced herself as a talented artist who attempted to approach reality imposing on it strict geometrical rules of shape and color. Her present prove a basic tendency towards what I should call “the appeal to nature”, since nature is for Marta Dimitrescu vitally essential. Therefore, the artist who has primarily enforced her strict rules upon reality subsequently re-creates it, grasping its vital force of matter and color. The creative work is carried on within nature’s frame, complying with the traditional device of “painting on the spot.” It engenders an image of nature as it is perceived and re-shaped by the artist’s responsiveness. Thus, on the one hand there are several things that have been removed such as strict subjects and their specific features, the local color, the materialization of surfaces, the relationship set between light and motif. On the other hand, there are a few things highly cherished the accuracy to create a familiar environment that undeniably belongs to nature, the maintenance of proportions between forms and colors. The painting drawings achieve unpredictable optical effects resulted from the whirling and flowing in quick sequence of colors, from the effective superposition of surfaces and planes that build up a coherent visual system. The imagery of Marta Dimitrescu is a balanced and eloquent synthesis between motif, artistic insight, and chromatic matter. The bend towards nature signifies a real gain for the painter at this stage of creation.
(Pierre Restany, art critic and cultural philosopher)
