The painter Veronica Iftodii (b. 1985, Chisinau) received in 2009 her graduation diploma from the Academy of Music, Theater and Fine Arts in Chisinau, class to Iurie Matei. Since then he has been painting landscapes, still lifes, portraits, nudes, compositions, which he exhibits in various group exhibitions since his exhibition debut in 2003, as well as personal ones. Her most recent exhibition – The living reality of painting – is a double solo (with her husband, Gheorghe Lisița) and is now being held in the "Gallery of the Arts" at the National Military Circle in Bucharest. It is perhaps the most extensive and enlightening exhibition of the artist, in which her most refined qualities as a colorist can be seen, and they are grafted onto a precise, thoroughly appropriated drawing. Veronica Iftodii does not aim for large themes, but possesses a strong, juicy, embossed touch, reminding in places even the painting of an Ion Theodorescu Sion, one of the most convincing colorists of the Romanian interwar period. But it is not the references to other artists that constitute the distinctive mark of this young painter, but her keen desire to shape her own style, with elegance, taste, finesse and, I would even say, tenderness. She is an artist whose evolution must undoubtedly be followed and greeted with every public appearance.(Text by Vladimir Bulat)
