Bright Little Things

Maxim Liulca
Bright Little Things

"The motifs of my work range from folk Romanian carpet patterns to the geometric wallpapers of the 1970s, from Dada collage to Russian Constructivism. I combine pseudo-narrative, ambiguous folkloric styles with pop culture or even geometric patterns. Different layers of ornamental styles of pop culture or folkloric Romanian carpet motifs flow into a collage with a pseudo-narrative, sometimes even dramatic atmosphere. These then transform into a kind of human creation, like a simulator, a bit comic, a bit serious, a bit mysterious and a bit indeterminate."
