A Legacy That Endures

As I reflect on those early days, I am struck by the lasting impact the Robescu House and the Galați Pupils' Club had on me. It was here, within those historical walls, that I first learned to express myself through art, to navigate the delicate balance between tradition and innovation. Even now, as I pursue sustainable art in my professional life, the lessons I learned in Galați — the importance of roots, tradition, and the courage to create in the face of adversity — continue to shape my work.

The Robescu House still stands, 127 years strong, a silent witness to generations of young artists who, like me, found their voice within its walls. And though the world around it has changed dramatically, it remains a symbol of creativity, resilience, and the enduring power of art to transcend time and circumstance.

In the grey world of communist Romania, the bright colors of our paintings were a reminder that, even in the darkest times, art has the power to illuminate and transform.
