"The merit of contemporary art is to have removed from artists the prejudice that in their works they simply had to copy what they saw exactly as they saw it. The works of Olivia Stocheci, a Romanian artist aware that art is much more than this, are not a simple description of a landscape or a subject, but a wonderful inner expression.

Whatever she chooses to paint on her canvas, she represents it filtering through her eyes, the eyes of creativity. She also attaches great importance to the way she places colors, one in relation to the other, thus creating an agreement that acquires a unique and unrepeatable meaning.

An essential feature in her works is the starry sky that always serves as a background for her compositions. The dark blue typical of the deep night is, therefore, the predominant color, however, it is constantly, but not excessively, interrupted by bright points that are firmly imprinted in the eye of the observer.

With the same humanistic strength, Olivia Stocheci represents the subjects of the three works under examination. The brushstrokes are subtle, like small dashes, reminiscent of the technique used by Paul Signac and the Italian Divisionists, and the colors are so bright that they overwhelm the viewer’s thoughts and come to dominate him emotionally. In "Celestial Drift" and "Celestial Woman", moreover, the viewer is surprised by the depth of the faces of the women represented.

These works were done in difficult moments in the artist’s life and them we can read both the fragility that Olivia Stocheci felt and the achievement of the desired peace and tranquility. The faces appear tired, stressed, and a little apathetic, and yet they're surrounded by lush vegetation, on the border between real and imaginary, which puts the work in an optimistic perspective: even in the darkest moments, something bright can bloom.

The green and fuchsia fluorescent, symbols of hope and carefreeness, make everything more joyful. "Shaking stars into the sky" is a work that emanates light and optimism.

A dog, the man’s best friend par excellence, is the protagonist of the work and he, shaking his body with an expression of bliss on his face, seems to give birth to the stars. "Painting is not what I do, it is what I am!” says Olivia Stocheci and we can only see the truth of these words since in her works we see not only her skill, but we see her soul. In them, she pours all of herself on the canvas through colors.

Olivia Stocheci speaks with and through colors; she has managed to find her artistic language, and although she loves to experiment with various styles and materials, we can say without a doubt that in this type of work she can make visible all her creativity and all her innate talent."
