In Mihai Bara’s work the spectator  will  notice the artist’s almost obsessive concern to reconciliate two distinct impulses; a strikingly violent expression of a scream and a need for harmony and unity. The painter fully masters the representation technique and seems to be driven by an ardent temperament in his endeavour to discipline matter, to enrich it by using an elastic, elevated, formal idiom. The impression you get is one of dynamic emotion, of restlessness in the transposition of his visions into a vivid, fluctuating matter, into a volcanic expression. The colours, the thick paste are applied with a constant control of the artistic gesture. The colouring explodes in hues of the highest degree of purity, in a concept that ensures the monumentality of his compositions and facilitates an enhanced abstraction

“Bara offers in his exhibition a high conceptual dialogue with the audience based on the eternal reconstruction of the identity, of the feelings that lie beneath. You can almost feel his look, his critical and emotional touch, the vibration he puts on every spot of light and colour. “

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.
