Anca-Luiza Sirbu gained a BFA from the University of Granada where she is currently undertaking a PhD in the same subject. Her work is held in the collection of the University of Granada and she has participated in several group exhibitions in Spain in venues in Granada, Almería, Córdoba and Málaga.
The portrait is of the artist’s 6-year-old son, Alejandro, who had come indoors to the warm after playing outside during the winter. Sirbu says: ‘I wanted to express the unique moments of childhood, and in particular of the childhood of my son. Even at a very young age, one is capable of introspective thought.’
