Costel Iarca

  
         Born in Targoviste,Romania,1963. Education:School of Popular Art,Targoviste,Romania B.A.,1982 University of Theology,Transylvania ,Romania 1989. Lives in Chicago,Ilinois, USA.
My most recent compositions are of a textured appearance and feel which is signature to my abstract expressionistic style of work. I continue to experiment with organic structures,textural depth and intensity of color.                                                                                                                                                                       

     I have acquired a patent for the unique process used in my textured paintings.                                                              

        Statement:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                There is no "bottom line"in art.A painting is always incomplete and that very incompleteness fascinates me, driving me to reflect on the perfection and imperfection of the world and of the human soul.
