Camelia Mirescu
Biography
Metaphorically, I love to think that our immaterial being has a “semantics of the image” that imprints within us the meaning of sensations, of the sets of individual emotional vibrations and of empathy, of feelings.
The love for the invisible dreaming self (rêverie) and the passion for the world of symbols that live in each of us are the narrative thread of my imaginative and creative existence, condensed in a reflective exploration with painting, photography, experimental cinema, video art and written thought – without distinction, all precious companions and working tools devoted to Art which have given me the privilege of synthesizing in a sensitive expression, all the influences of the unconscious and of consciousness, of shaping a personal aesthetic ideal, creating a trace towards the Infinite, a revelation that emerges from the permanence of Spiritual Values.
Ultimately, to look away from our life and our soul and make the imperceptible nostalgic visible, to live for the Enigma of Art beyond the Time and Space of a transitory life.

IO SCELGO (I CHOOSE) – Rediviva Edizioni di Milano – «Rosa dei venti» series, 2014 – a choral volume, written by Italian and Romanian authors, on the topic of violence against women. There are six authors: Cristiana Pivari, Daniela Frascati, Paola Budassi, Luiza Diculescu, Daniela Radu and Camelia Mirescu, curated by Irina Turcanu. One is the male voice, that of Dario Fertilio, journalist of the «Corriere della Sera». The stories contained in the anthology do not only aim to raise discussion on such a delicate topic as the violence suffered by women, but they want to offer solutions. In fact, the protagonists react in an effective, practical way. They choose. – Salone Internazionale del Libro di Torino (Turin International Book Fair), 8 – 12 May 2014,Turin (Italy)
