In Celina Cordoș’s artworks, time expands into silence. 

Bodies live quietly, in a time suspended between thought and movement. They do not perform, but exist. In this simplicity, Celina captures the fragility but also the strength of presence, a tension between vulnerability and power found in the modulated lines.

The domestic space captured: the personal room, the half-open door, the filtered light – become the scene of everyday life, of an intimacy that is no longer private, but revealed in its human, common layer. Human identity is seen as a perpetual process of transformation, not a fixed image, oscillating between a corporeal and dreamlike world.

Decorative patterns are transformed into structures that construct the inner reality of the works. These patterns, real or imaginary, make up the artist’s own language, a visual code that links everyday life to mental space.

The body becomes a landscape of interiority, but also a territory of the gaze, a gaze that observes but also allows itself to be observed. Celina explores the theme of the gaze as an act of knowledge: between seeing and being seen, between exposure and withdrawal. The gestures captured are seemingly fixed, but they pulsate with a subtle, almost ritualistic meaning. The artworks are a slow writing of things that would otherwise go unnoticed: shadows, light, traces. Celina gives the gaze the space between image and imagination – that intermediate place between what you see and what you become.
