ION MANDRESCU
He was born 1954 in Mihoveni, Suceava, Romania and studied at Institute of Fine Arts “Nicolae Grigorescu”, Bucharest.
His bronze sculpture series “Man and Space” is a deep meditation on the human condition. The character trapped in the spiral and undergoing immutable external determination, suggesting social martyrdom and Christian sacrifice, foreshadows a major artistic moment of our days, proposed by the artist with maximum moral rigor. The language of his work is neither declamatory nor redundant and reaches beyond any extrinsic rhetoric. It represents a superior understanding of the world and a melancholic reconciliation with destiny.

His works from his series Man Time, Space show that humankind is not imprisoned within a sphere or circle, but can also escape via the spiral of destiny. The works message about the human condition is one of optimism: accept the inevitable with courage. The captive figure imprisoned by the symbolic wheel, cross, spiral, reminds of Don Quixote, who braved derision to follow his dreams.
