    The artist Maggie Romanovici (Magdalena Mateescu) was born in Romania during the communist dictatorship. In a closed society, there was an attraction to the arts and culture in general as the only escape from life. Maggie showed a natural inclination for drawing and colored pencils from a very young age.

     

    In primary school, teachers noticed Maggie's exceptional talent for drawing. Her father, who also had a passion for painting, exerted a significant influence on his daughter's artistic development. Maggie then began attending art school. There, for six years, she formally learned drawing, watercolour, oil painting, and everything else included in the school curriculum. She then continued to refine her skills through private lessons with dedicated local painters. Her first exhibition was at the age of 12, with an oil painting. Others followed.

     

    Because the communist regime in her native Romania did not encourage an artistic career, Maggie chose to teach languages. Her connection to art never left her, but it was only later in life, in Canada, that Maggie returned to painting full-time.

     

    The early years were devoted to figurative painting, but gradually Maggie discovered the freedom of expression offered by abstract painting. She continued to take art courses on new techniques and materials to enrich and refine her expression. Her curiosity and desire to progress remain constant.

     

    Maggie is recognised as a professional painter by RAAV. She lives in Montreal.

     

    To date, Maggie has participated in over 90 exhibitions with various associations and galleries, symposiums and artist fairs, juried competitions, international juried competitions, and solo exhibitions. She is also the recipient of awards and medals for her art.
