Transylvanian winter landscapes of 2017 by Marin Gruia

Marin Gruia's landscapes are classical and sensitive, displaying a subtle color palette. His winter landscapes in particular fit this description and their special charm is rendered by the inclusion of elements typical to his homeland, Transylvania. The haystacks laden with snow for example are masterfully rendered through the relief structuring of the oil color paste. Here are two very recent such paintings, made in September 2017, oil on canvas, ca. 70 x 50 cm.

Marin Gruia - watercolors

Though Marin Gruia's favorite techniques are oil and pastel, he has recently developed an interest in watercolor and the results are quite interesting, in the way his particular pastel-color, sensitive landscapes are adapted to the new medium.

As a Christmas surprise I have created a brand new Facebook page for my father, an established painter from Romania, whose computer-using skills are just not up to speed with the task. So I am turning manager and present you the beautiful, sensitive, classical-looking landscapes and flowers, in oil and pastel, of Marin Gruia from Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
Feel free to like the page and contribute to the surprise!
