Boris Covali-Lepei / Romania

My concept concerning the landscape painting is that of depicting the nature in all it's beauty. It is my duty, as an artist, to remind people how important and wonderful nature is. In fact she was especially created for us, that is why we have the moral obligation to respect and protect her. Unfortunately the nowadays artist seems to be more concerned about the theoretical and abstract aspect of art. From my point of view, it is important not to push things so far. That is why I found my joy in the sincerity of realist art.

I use to paint my canvases in nature, staying face to face with her. I consider that this is the only way to obtain a true portrait of nature. The realism means sincerity not a simple reproduction of nature. I want to show all my respect for the Russian realist landscape painters such as Ivan Shishkin and Isaak Levitan and for the Romanian modern landscape paintings belonging to Nicolae Grigorescu, Stefan Luchian and Ion Andreescu. I am also very impressed by the French artist Claude Monet and Corot. All these artists have played an important role in my development as a realist landscape painter. But the greatest master at all, remains the nature!
