Arts Lab 3.0: Krista Lipska - Cucuteni

November for me started with coming back from Latvia and still enjoying aftertaste from seeing family and visiting home. As soon as I came back, we went to see 2 Cucuteni museums in Iași, learning more about this culture and getting inspiration, ideas for work on our own museum. The museum of ''Alexandru Ioan Cuza'' University was really impressive and pieces were nicely exhibited, placed the most flattering way, so interest can be hold and built up through whole exhibition. After seeing historical heritage of Cucuteni culture it was about the time to start working on pieces, ideas, sketches and visions, so one of my contribution pieces was creating face paintings for all involved artists. I was glad that I had an opportunity to work on creating themed and connecting recognizable markings for whole team. 

As well continuing work with Mr. Ciobanu always is a pleasure and well spent time. He is really inspiring artist with sparkling energy overflowing him and fulfilling studio with enjoyable dynamic ambience. Furthermore every time when we are visiting him, he changes exhibited pieces on a walls and ceilings in studio, so we can search for potential details or color schemes we are missing in our paintings. I am truly grateful for opportunity to meet, work and be taught by such a charismatic person.
