Mogoșoaia Palace Museum, Mogosoaia
A solo exhibition unfolding within the historic precincts of the Mogoșoaia Palace Museum, Între Lumi presents a cycle of works that probe the fragile border between inner vision and external form. Through fluid structures and vivid chromatic intensities, Beba transforms the Foișor Gallery into a space of meditation on identity, duality, and the subtle thresholds between emotional states.
Hosted by the Mogoșoaia Palace Museum / Muzeul Palatelor Brâncovenești, one of Romania’s most emblematic cultural sites, Beba’s 2015 solo exhibition Între Lumi engages deeply with the spirit of the Brâncovenesc architectural ensemble—a space defined by harmony, proportion, and a subtle dialogue between interior and exterior realms.
Installed in Galeria Foișor, the exhibition presents a suite of works that investigate the liminal spaces of consciousness. Each drawing is constructed through intricate, kaleidoscopic line structures that orbit intensely colored, sensuous forms. These juxtapositions create a visual tension that mirrors the exhibition’s conceptual framework: the coexistence of two worlds—material and immaterial, rational and intuitive, seen and felt.
The palace’s stone floors, vaulted ceilings, and filtered natural light heighten the meditative quality of the works. Within this setting, Beba’s figures appear suspended in fields of patterned vibration, their gestures unfolding like inward monologues. The red forms, in particular, possess an archetypal resonance, suggesting emergence, vulnerability, and metamorphosis. Other works introduce cooler chromatic registers—green, blue, violet—expanding the emotional spectrum of the cycle.
Curator Mădălina Mirea describes these pieces as “glosses on the fragility of a thought, a sensation, an idea.” The exhibition thus positions drawing not merely as representation, but as a site of introspection and transformation. Beba’s delicate control of line, combined with the monumental calm of the Brâncovenesc architecture, creates a unique sensorial experience: a quiet passage between worlds, where viewers encounter both the aesthetic precision of the artist and the intimate pulse of her inner landscapes.
Între Lumi stands as one of Beba’s most cohesive institutional presentations—an elegant convergence of historical space, contemporary visual language, and psychological depth.
