Geanina M. Zaharia

Bio

My name is Geanina and I’m a professional artist and exhibition curator with a degree in graphic art and animation .I love creativity, imagination, colors, peace and beauty in art. Over the years I have specialized in various art techniques such as illustrations, portraits, art compositions and animation for my art degree. At this point in my career, I’m focusing on realistic portrait drawing in graphite pencil. As curator, I strive to promote all talented artists of all ages and styles to bring beauty to the world.

Statement

I’m an artist inspired by beauty and natural details in art. I like to use human face in my drawing, with its shadows, different gray tones and expression. I enjoy the harmony of pencil on paper and all the textures and forms that are created.

• The Poetics of the Unperfect

  People & Paintings Gallery

  There is a kind of beauty that escapes all canons — a beauty that lives in the trembling line, in the hesitant gesture, in the visible traces of searching. In art, imperfection is not a flaw but a signature — a testimony of human presence, of the subjective gaze that reshapes the world through its own sensibility. Every artist carries within a constellation of signs, rhythms, tensions, and silences. From the meeting of these inner worlds emerge singular forms — expressions of how each of us understands and reinterprets reality. Artistic practice thus becomes a space of freedom, where theory dissolves into gesture, and concept merges with emotion. Beauty, then, is no longer an external ideal but an inner experience — the result of an intimate relation between the artwork and the one who beholds it, between intention and perception. Each piece speaks not only of the one who created it, but also of the one who contemplates it. In this silent exchange, imperfection becomes a bridge: an opening toward authenticity, a proof that art is alive — unfinished, ever-evolving, and profoundly human.

• Caring for Nature is Caring for Ourselves

  People & Paintings Gallery

  In the current context of environmental crisis, global conflicts, and the effects of climate change, we need a new way of relating to nature, to the planet we inhabit, and to each other as humanity. Nature and its resources are not infinite, yet our global economy acts as if they were. The crises we face stem from the way we relate to nature, as we fail to understand that its ecosystems cannot be overexploited due to their roles in climate regulation and the self-regulation of various processes. Ecosystems are interconnected and enable the stabilization of the climate, biogeochemical cycles, and biodiversity. From clouds to algae, every element plays a part in these processes. There are planetary boundaries we must respect to ensure our survival. Therefore, it is essential to care for nature, respect it, and understand that we are part of it. Recognizing and honoring its vast biodiversity is also the first step toward a more harmonious humanity. Money is worthless if we do not have a planet in good condition to enjoy and if we fail to foster good relations among our peoples. “Nature does not belong to us; we belong to it.”

• People United for Peace

  People & Paintings Gallery

  We live in a world in which communication, people's trust in other people, is being lost, or is increasingly diminishing, this causes distance between people, there is also a lack of tolerance for what is different from us. Therefore, I consider that art is the way to bring us closer, to identify with each other, to try to find common ground and the way to respect each other and create a world of peace and unity between peoples. For this reason, Débora Lewinson, founder of Lewinson Art, calls on artists from around the world to interpret the theme People United for Peace. These works must express harmony, respect, unity.

• Moon

  People & Paintings Gallery

  What does Moon mean to you? When to find moon in the night sky, you might feel so happy and your heart pounds with joy as to find a treasure in a box. Moon makes our heart so warm and relaxing. Moon is always watching us whether brightly and visibly, or quietly from behind the clouds, no matter where we are. Moon is like a mother who is always caring her children. I believe we human and all creatures are protected by Moon. In this painting, I express my nostalgia with an autumn harvests (Japanese large chrysanthemums, Japanese silver grasses), nature (Moon, Mt. Iwaki in my hometown Aomori prefecture) and creatures (Dragon flies, a cat), which are shined by Moon. A cat looks up Moon, nostalgically thinking of her hometown in autumn. Submit your artwork related to your feeling, story or your thoughts over the moon. Describe what you mean by that to the viewers. I expect your work touches to the viewers who feel a heartwarming moment by your artwork.
