Cornel Sântioan Cubleșan

The life of the painter Ion Șinca is a phantasm that has the shape and colour of his painting. The phantasm of Șinca's painting is the shape and colour of childhood, of the birthplace. The phantasm of the birthplace is Ion Șinca — even when he is in the studio, at his classes, on the street — he is in fact in his village, haunting, like a ghost of memory, the hills, the yards, the lanes, the gardens…

The real dissolves into inner rhythms, lights and shadows, breaths of the spirit that keeps watch, photographing dreams, ideas, the map of a future possible world. The painter Ion Șinca, one of the important contemporary painters of Prahova, builds his artistic personality; his exhibition of high standing demonstrates it with force — his painting comes and heals the century of its ills.
