The main assets of Mihai Bara’s painting seem to be the pedantic control of his colouring instinct together with a good balance of associations and juxtapositions of the colour shades, in an apparently gestural move of the tones, creating a dominant abstract image.

Even more interesting though, are his very active and flexible poetic compositions, in which the metamorphic tensions dominate the visual impression, by evoking the magmatic whirl of matter, seeking possible forms, autonomous in their potential existence. Mihai Bara is well aware that his relationship with the viewer, irrespective of place or culture, must be sustained by concentrating his message or, ay least, by conveying his communicative intentions in a most expressive manner.
