STILLNESS Diana Coandă 01.10 - 20.12.2026

The Lucía Dueñas Gallery, in collaboration with the Hotusa Group, presents the exhibition Stillness by painter Diana Coandă (Timişoara, Romania, 1974), at the Áurea Washington Irving.

Stillness is a pictorial investigation of nature understood as a space of memory, distance, and perception.

Through partially veiled images and forms that blur into space, the series explores what remains when the image loses definition. Sfumato, transparencies, and successive layers of paint create a sense of distance and suspension, placing the works in an intermediate territory between the observed and the remembered.

Nature thus appears not as a concrete representation, but as a silent, fragmentary, and changing presence. Stillness speaks of memory and the passage of time through contained painting, where the absence of clarity becomes a way of expressing what remains.
