Ovidiu Lebejoara - Biography

September 1st, 2008

Ovidiu Lebejoara was born in Romania, 12-14-52. Since 1986 he has lived in Los Angeles. His compositions are an original approach to interpretation of nature using simple terms: water, light, food, and energy. Ranging in style from surrealism to realism, the artist has built a distilled vision of reality where nature’s light and life’s perennial mystery compose a personal symbolism that speaks through elaborated colors and pictorial forms. Ovidiu Lebejoara forgoes the distraction of superfluous and melodramatic abstraction in favor of a cohesive portrait that gives the viewer a rest from turbulent world. His strong, well-conceived and esthetically challenging paintings reveal professional attributes in style, concept and concept. Both his older work and his ongoing series of painting show a distinctive style and contend that he has developed a personally, expressive signature, providing a way for exhibitors and collectors to identify his work.

“I like the simple, I do not like the simplicity”, the artist confess. “I always asked the eternal questions: Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? Why do we live? With each and every work I made I have always though that only the nature or God can answer our uncertainties”.
