This original oil on canvas by Anatol Ghimpu, a renowned Moldovan painter and art professor, is a rare opportunity to own a museum‑level artwork from Eastern Europe’s contemporary art scene. Ghimpu has exhibited widely across Moldova, Romania, Ukraine, Italy, Hungary and Russia and is a member of the Union of Plastic Artists of the Republic of Moldova, with multiple awards for painting and his contribution to fine arts education.
Created in 2005 and signed on the reverse “Anatol Ghimpu, Studio Nabu”, this piece comes from a mature period in which the artist blends strong academic training from the Kiev State Institute of Fine Arts with expressive, modern compositions. The work’s rich textures, colour layering and dynamic brushwork give it depth both visually and emotionally, making it a powerful focal point for any interior and a conversation starter for guests.
Ghimpu’s paintings are documented in a dedicated three‑volume catalogue and are held in private and institutional collections, which adds to the long‑term value and collectability of this piece. You originally acquired the work for 1,300 EUR, underscoring that it already trades as a serious artwork rather than simple decoration. For collectors, this is an accessible entry into the oeuvre of an established professor‑artist whose market and reputation are steadily growing internationally.
