She may be 12 years old, but she does not play at painting! Nay, in early February, at the International Conference
\nCentre’s Constantin Brancusi Exhibition Hall, on the premises at the Parliament
\nPalace, Giulia Pintea opened her first sole exhibition in Romania, themed A
\nSymphony in Colours. Giulia Pintea is a Romanian-born painter, a French
\nRiviera resident, of Canadian and Italian nationality. Giulia came to the
\nattention of the artistic milieu of the country that has given the world some of
\nthe greatest painters in the history of fine arts. Giulia
\nPintea has had sole exhibitions before, all across the French Riviera, but also
\nin England, Germany and Spain. Giulia was the pupil of the famous French contemporary
\npainter Jos\u00e9 Curti, known for his abstract, semi-figurative works which pay tribute
\nto the imaginary by mixing colours that are always surprising. Actually, the
\nfamous painter attended the inauguration of the little artist’s sole exhibition.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Giulia Pintea’s exhibition themed A Symphony
\nin Colours allows visitors to have access to a mystery: that of the synchronization
\nof two worlds in a mirror, the world of the imaginary and the real world. Giulia’s paintings have already been purchased by private collectors in France,
\nEngland, Ireland, the USA, France and New Zealand. <\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Giulia is fluent in four languages: Romanian, Italian, French
\nand English. She was kind enough to spin the yarn of her early days as a fine
\nartist, and her exhibition in Romania.<\/p>\n

Giulia Pintea:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ever since I was little, I have always liked to
\ncreate, to paint. I inherited that trend from father and destiny favoured my
\nencounter with painter Jos\u00e9 Curti, who inspired me in the abstract with acrylic
\nstyle. It is A Symphony in
\nColours the painting of the exhibition, it is The Encounter of the Angels, which
\nis the first painting I created, it is The Guitarist, my favourite painting,
\nthen there is Le Voyage vers le Lumi\u00e8re Journey
\nto the Light, very many people adored. My professor was very proud of me and said it was very beautiful. I paint
\nbecause I love to paint and that makes me happy and I want to convey this joy through
\ncolours. I paint for about 2, 3 hours a day. It takes me 2 to 5 hours to paint
\na large painting and roughly two hours for a small one. <\/p>\n

Giulia met 73-year-old artist Jose Curti when she was 6, in May,
\n2016. Together with her mother, she followed in Picasso’s footsteps and stopped
\nin front of the canvas artist Jose Curti was painting in the Artists’ Square in
\nthe Antibes and, amazed with what he was doing, she approached him. A kind of synergy
\noccurred between them and ever since Jos\u00e9 Curti has become her mentor. Shortly afterwards,
\nmotivated by the mentor, when she was only 6, Giulia had her first exhibition jointly
\nwith her mentor. And, when she was 8, Giulia opened the gates of her first sole exhibition
\nin France, in February 2019. Then she had another exhibition in England, in
\nOctober, 2019, and another one in Germany, in December, 2019. The impetus of her
\nsuccess was somehow stifled during the pandemic, when she only
\nexhibited her works in Spain, in May 2021, and also as part of the Roman Camp
\nstaged by the MAI Academy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We asked Giulia if she wanted to be like some well-known
\nartist. We also asked her if, apart from painting, there was anything else she
\nwould like to do. <\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I just want to be like Gulia
\nPintea. I also do swimming, ballet, acting, acrobatic circus, basketball, canto
\nequitation, aikido, piano. Ever since I was little, I got used to doing that, and
\never since I was little, I have been doing lots of activities. My colleagues have
\nbeen very nice with me, I made friends very easily, and they support me in my
\npassion. <\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Giulia’s mother, Alexandra
\nPintea, told us why her daughter chose Romania for her exhibition. <\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Because her origins are Romanian and I don’t know
\nthat by hearsay but Giulia, ever since she was little, she spent her holidays
\nin Romania and in camps staged in Romania and she wanted so much to share with
\nthe Romanians the joy she conveys through her paintings. I am grateful to all those who came to Giulia’s inauguration. There was a great number of people there, from all over the
\nplace, from all over the country. They came from Satu Mare, her grandmother with
\nmy brother, with everyone else, our cousins. It was impressive, their
\nmobilization, former colleagues at the university here, in Bucharest and in Craiova.
\nThey also came from abroad, her father with Giulia’s godmother, from Italy,
\ncousins from Germany came over, they came from France, her mentor, Jose Curti,
\ncame, he was here at the opening with a group of six artists who adore her and who have
\nalways supported Giulia and all the fine people were there, among whom I should
\nlike to mention the Miniton group, who literally opened the event and to whom we
\nare very grateful, there also was presenter Roxana
\nIoana Gav\u0103r Iliescu.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Giulia Pintea donates part of her works to humanitarian causes, for
\nthe support of the underprivileged children. The artist is also passionate about
\nacting, ballet, piano, the art of circus and canto, areas where she scooped awards. Giulia’s name only adds up to a great number of names of children with
\nRomanian origins, whose genius, at a very tender age, has enjoyed worldwide recognition.(EN)<\/p>\n
