“Just like the body of an young oak, the art of Ioana Luţai gets its sap through her two roots: the first one, from Botiza, and the second, from Săpânţa.”

Irina Bremen, theater critic, Swithzerland

“We have to look for the icon’s origins right in the first christian centuries, but in today’s conception, the icon belongs to the orthodox world.

Following up this tradition, the artist Ioana Luţai approaches the art of glass painting with a touch of freshness that seems to spring from the heart of the Romanian earth”
