“I Started To See The Colours” is an exhibition of naive art from Romania and Serbia, curated by Andreiana Mihail. The works included do not claim to offer a historical-explanatory compendium but rather create a journey through dominant themes: work, nature, family, entertainment—treated simply, without constructing a critical analysis of reality. Everything is as it appears: short narratives without obscurities and difficulties, the eye being engaged by the unmediated contact with the many colors and characters.

The exhibition “I Started To See The Colours” was created in 2023 as part of the cultural project Moving Fireplaces organized by the Prin Banat Association and was presented as part of Timișoara 2023 – European Capital of Culture. In 2024, under the current edition entitled Moving Fireplaces – The Legacy, the exhibition is adapted and presented from August to November in Bucharest, Brașov, and Caransebeș.

The exhibition can be visited until August 29, 2024. Admission is free.

Address: Piața Amzei, no. 13, Bucharest, sector 1.
