LĂCRĂ GROZĂVESCU | A STUDY OF TIME & MEMORY
Lăcră Grozăvescu is a Romanian visual artist who excels in the use of color combinations and texture, focusing on documenting space and the feelings implied by her surroundings.
Lacra expresses her world vision using mediums such as Photography, painting, drawing, collage, and film. She explores the external and internal connection and the transition from material to spiritual, from human to divine.
Her work reflects personal experiences, analyzing topics such as Anxiety regarding life and death, the problem of human existence, and the pursuit for meaning.
Starting with 2018, I began to document how people act on the street and how they adapt to living in a big city. A recording of everyday life. I look for diversity in my chosen subjects, using darkness and shadows to emphasize solitude, fear, sadness, and isolation.
It’s a whole process of discovering, experimenting, understanding, and learning. Human emotions are expressed in a lyrical way of seeing the world, focusing on the details of ordinary life. There is frequent isolation of humankind in an urban environment that can be observed universally.
A recurrent theme in my Photography is Time and how people react to it. I try to capture the fragility and shortness of a moment, a moment that instantly becomes a memory. There have been a lot of debates on this theme, but the mystery still revolves around it. I think my pictures are a testimony of a universal space where physical time is irrelevant, emphasizing how the real concept of ‘Time’ can be quite different for everyone. While for some, time stands still, for others moves continuously back and forth.
