"Dumitru Macovei has the ability to observe and explore every show of the visible. Each component of the environment proves, at a sensitive glance, that it is capable of carrying a sum of essential meanings, which our consciences pressed by emergencies of all kinds have forgotten or hidden through the exercise of formal experiments, otherwise necessary for the climate. cultural. In an era in which the artistic horizon is shaken by nihilistic attitudes, the will to deconstruct, the abandonment of cognitive programs, such a position offers a moment of silence, of resettling things in their normal path, in which it can occur. a beneficial reading of the real. The hunger for concrete keeps the artist on alert, in a permanent vigil. It does not allow dust to spread on the most common things and beings, only that at this level of perception a certain temporary wear works. Subtly, Dumitru Macovei receives messages from the current artistic atmosphere (he cultivates, for example, the reduction to the essential of some forms), but his fundamental dialogue considers especially the sacred plan, with which he meets while elaborating the frescoes of some churches. . The return to the terrestrial actuality, within the easel painting, makes him even more eager to delve into the tangible reality, to aspire to a fusion with the elements of the material world, with all those present that imprint our existence. Between the various compositional elements that make up the visual score, there is always a tendency to harmonize, which subjects any intensity of color. This chromatic balance, serene and tonic, is a characteristic of Dumitru Macovei's painting, whether we have secular expressions or the referent of the painting is placed in the sacred universe. ” (Constantin Prut)
