Of Flowers and Love
The installation “Of Flowers and Love” by Andrei Costache aligns with a fundamental direction in contemporary art: one that reconciles geometric abstraction with emotion, public space with intimacy, and human intervention with the rhythms of nature. Through three intersecting wooden panels, hand painting, and saturated chromatics, the work functions simultaneously as a sculptural object, an urban landmark—easily visible from Tram No. 5 passing near Hotel Caro—and a generator of atmosphere.
The form of the three vertical panels, arranged in a dynamic composition of intersection and juxtaposition, updates the vocabulary of three-dimensional geometric abstraction. While 1960s–70s minimalism (Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt) proposed pure, industrial, and deliberately impersonal forms, later generations introduced organic materiality, asymmetry, and a relationship to the viewer’s body. Costache preserves compositional rigor but softens it through wood (a warm material, marked by grain and imperfection) and the manual application of color. The work thus situates itself within post-minimalism and contemporary geometric sculpture, where form is no longer an intellectual exercise, but a framework for sensory experience.
Andrei Costache
Andrei Costache is a multidisciplinary artist known for his kaleidoscopic fusion of inflatable architecture, fluid 3D designs, AI-generated animations, and tactile digital paintings. His work bursts with vibrant neon hues—citrus yellow, electric pink, and rainbow gradients—blending twisted geometry with tropical safari aesthetics. His inflatable sculptures are immersive experiences: jellyfish-like forms that pulse with life, inviting audiences into dreamlike spaces where movement and gravity feel fluid. Inspired by ocean waves and urban skylines, his creations reimagine how we interact with space. Andrei also crafts wooden 3D paintings from digital drawings, merging traditional craftsmanship with digital precision. His “Quantum AI” animations, trained on his sketches and recordings, morph jungle scenes into glowing metropolises, creating hypnotic visual poetry. Describing his work as “a celebration of chaos, color, and connection,” Andrei invites viewers into a joyful, ever-evolving universe where technology, nature, and imagination collide.
