"Sergiu Roman’s series “Unspeakable things” shows a powerful creator of painterly states of the soul. The striking paintings of this series represent the artist’s philosophical concept on how the contemporary turmoil of the Soul could be embodied in an accurate symbolic and visual image.

Balancing between Antiquity dictums and contemporary ideals, between chaos and order, instinct and reason, Sergiu Roman explores the human soul with boldness and curiosity in order to reveal its mysteries into works of art. Sergiu Roman depicts the Soul with frenzy, with movements, gestures and vivid colours, trying to convey the message that beauty should be the AIM of the Soul. The bright, bold colours, the use of gold, the overcharged surface of the paintings by numerous layers of drippings, geometrical symbols and Latin or Ancient Greek expressions all that form the powerful language of his paintings. 

"Unspeakable things" series offers the painter’s personal notion of beauty, morality and aesthetics based on a wide range of feelings, by means of strong craftsmanship. Sergiu Roman shows a total dedication to design intricate compositions in which he creates organic depictions of a troubled, restless Soul trying to find its peace. Inspired by modern philosophy and psychology, Sergiu Roman creates a unique vocabulary of forms revealing his desire for expressive painting and a drive to continually reinvent himself by exploring new concepts and techniques."
