The painter is seeking after the lastingness beyond surface, therefore he has devised an adequate technique witch is entierly his own. He breaks external images, destroys and alters them until he completely changes their substance and, then he rebuilds them according to his own laws, thus obtaining a true transmutation. His approach searches out the very essence of subjectivity in order to make it acquire a material form. "Real life" images are undermined to be reconstructed anew during a proces of transformation - of the subjectivity into objectivity. This new reality is an abstraction and consequently endures beyond time. Contrary to the mad rhythm of contemporary world, Călin Beloescu advances a lasting and lucid construct and tries to use art to transcend human condition trough an "alchemical transmutation".
