Originally from Constanta, a resident of Bucharest, Eusebiu Spinu linked his destiny to didactic art. Constanta High School of Art, “Th.Burada” Cultural Center Constanta, “N. Tonitza ”Bucharest and the Bucharest National Academy of Art are the places from which, under the hand of Professor Spinu, thousands of graduates came out. Since 1995 he is a member of UAP, for 6 years leading the UAP Constanta branch. He participated, as an artist-ceramist, in group exhibitions held in Iasi, Cluj, Bucharest, Mamaia, Mangalia, but also in similar events in Belgium, France, Japan, Bulgaria, Canada or Portugal. He also has numerous personal exhibitions, held in several cities in Romania and Switzerland.

When I launched the idea of getting involved and developing a new exhibition project, I had in mind the achievement of three important objectives: 1) promoting ceramics in the area of plastic and decorative arts; 2) drawing attention to the creative space (workshop at 298-300 Mamaia Blvd., Constanta), where, together with my branch colleagues, we want to create an artistic identity in the visual arts; 3) attracting my colleagues to the project, but who, be careful, are not potters!

Why? Because this way we can discover together, each with his spiritual contribution, new forms of plastic and decorative expression, the experiment will have as finality the discovery of new valences, in which ceramics still has a lot to say! It is not a new idea, it is not the first time that artists play with this special material (clay, sandstone, porcelain, faience), with colored glazes and earths, with the line that sometimes incisively attacks inert matter, sometimes barely perceptible on the surface. to him, with the plastic and decorative volumes, with the whole register of expressive forms, which ceramics generously makes available to us. I could mention here some famous artists, who had the curiosity and courage to model, paint and draw in ceramic material: Picasso, Tapies, Paul Klee. But don't forget that pottery means burnt earth! I mean, he has to go through the fire test! 

Why Eugen Raportoru? Simple! Raportoru is a curious, dynamic artist, eager to experiment bravely and last but not least, very expressive! Honestly, I was very curious to find out what shape the pottery takes out of his hands and thoughts! The result will be observed on the simes of the exhibition and I am convinced that as far as it is concerned, it is only a beginning! For Eugen it is a small but important step and together, in this project, I try, from the position of the professional ceramist, he, from the position of the curious painter, to discover a world with a common denominator. Ceramics = Art!

Through this project I try and I am convinced that I will be able to attract the public's attention and say that Ceramica has not exhausted its plastic and decorative resources, being one of the most offering materials. I have the same conviction that my master and teacher Costel Badea had, that for artists ceramics means volume, color, drawing ", says Eusebio Spinu.
