"A COLLECTOR'S HEDONIST STAGE"
Architect and designer Crina Arghirescu Rogard joins forces with painter Claudia Doring Baez to present a collaborative installation centered around the concepts of hedonism and aesthetic gratification. The presentation blurs the boundary between art and environment, inviting visitors into an immersive, multisensory interior where form, color, and composition converge in pursuit of pleasure.
Rooted in a shared fascination with visual and emotional intensity, the collaboration brings together Claudia’s expressive, memory-laden paintings with Crina’s sculptural, tactile approach to space and object, developed in collaboration with Otilia, the superforce behind Giulian Dumitriu’s Lovable Art. The resulting installation unfolds like a living tableau—at once cinematic and architectural—where each element is designed to provoke delight. From the richly saturated surfaces of Claudia’s canvases to the sensual materiality of Crina’s custom pieces and spatial interventions, the work celebrates beauty not as an accessory, but as a profound, embodied experience.
