“In the morning it was morning and I was still alive. Maybe I’ll write a novel, I thought. And then I did.”

“Shadow and light are the most stable and perfect tools of creation: they unite colors, shapes, and dimensions,” says Moldovan artist Sergiu Ciochină, adding that “shadows move us through diversity, enhancing our perception, while light fills us with the joy of discovery.” In saturated hues, he captures dappled sunlight as it filters through the trees and the rich tones of the golden hour as it casts deep bluish-purple shade onto the sides of houses.

Taking cues from the Impressionists, Ciochină focuses on the nuances of light and its ability to reveal outlines and forms. He works in thick, impasto oil paint on board, emphasizing the shapes of windows, doors, and stoops and transforming otherwise ordinary buildings into compositions glowing with the patterns of foliage, architectural angles, and the texture of brushstrokes. “The symbiosis I create between nature and architecture is intended to evoke a love for space,” he says.

“Audrey was meek, gentle, and ethereal, understated both in her life and in her work. She walked among us with a light pace, as if she didn’t want to noticed.“ Sophia Loren 

“Audrey was the kind of person who, when she saw someone else suffering, tried to take the pain on herself. She was a healer. She knew how to love." Shirley MacLaine 

“The extraordinary mystique of hers made you think she lived on rose petals and listened to nothing but Mozart, but it wasn’t true. She was quite funny and ribald. She could tell a dirty joke. She played charades with a great sense of fun and vulgarity, and she could be quite bitchy.” André Previn 

”Audrey was known for something which has disappeared, and that is elegance, grace and manners … God kissed her on the cheek, and there she was.“ Billy Wilder 

“She did the best that we could be; she was perfectly charming and perfectly loving. She was a dream. And she was the kind of dream that you remember when you wake up smiling.” Richard Dreyfuss 

“She shared her joy with friends, but kept her unhappy moments to herself.” Hubert de Givenchy 

“So many people primarily thought of Audrey as regal, but I like to think of her as spunky.” Gregory Peck 

“Audrey gave more than she ever got. The whole world is going to miss her.” Steven Spielberg 

”She believed in love. She believed love could heal, fix, mend, and make everything fine and good in the end… and it did. She left us with peace and serenity, and her passage was almost devoid of any pain.” Sean Hepburn Ferrer 

Rest in Peace, Audrey Kathleen Ruston (May 4th, 1929 - January 20th, 1993)
