Maria Tudosa is a complex personality and a completely self-taught painter; her unique artistry was perhaps best described by Radu Negru, the doyen of Romania's art critics: "Maria Tudosa's varied creations reveal a poet's personality, with musical fictional visions, a poet contemplating the landscape, as well as human hope, oscillating between the natural and the supernatural!". If one could also add George Elliott's dictum that "Art is the nearest thing to life", then those viewing her current exhibition should be in for a real treat!

The exhibition will be opened with a concert given by Maria's daughter, internationally-acclaimed opera singer Nelly Miricioiu (click here), whose repertoire extends from the title roles in Donizetti's Lucia Di Lammermoor, Maria Stuarda, Anna Bolena, Lucrezia Borgia, to Puccini's Tosca and Violetta in Verdi's La Traviata, and Tal Katsir - soprano (click here). They will be accompanied by pianist Eve Fisher-Cohn.
