Dorin Mircea Ratiu's paintings show the same constant concern for rendering real images, filled with beauty and bliss, captured during his countless joureys and hidden in the depths of his soul.

Of a rarely delicate and sensible heart, honest and open, he imprints his works with the meditative thrill of plain things, taking special interest in interpreting the light, the earth, the sky, the sea, the water shine and the sun's rays. The rendering of these reveals the all-important relationship of closeness, of harmony.

Dorin Mircea Ratiu's works offer the show of an artist that has finally found an universe of his own, by which the meeting with the blissful world of Vama Veche rallies an exceptional inner strength that allows the author to bond with nature and with the self. Alder-trees under rain at Varna Veche, Rain prints at Vama Veche, Horses at Vama Veche, Shoreline at Vama Veche, Crossbreed sea at Vama Veche - the artist identities himself with all of them.

The means of expression, the palette and the soft tones (water colours prevail) allow the painter to achieve the equilibrium of the primordial, refreshing feelings, shining a particular meaning upon his work. This is the reason why the works of Dorin Mircea Ratiu, the genuine artist, convey the impact of his mood, as well as his powerful emotional presence, in the attempt to fulfil the trinity painter, image, reality.
