Noktys Nokte's human and artistic destiny reiterates the eternal drama of the intellectual, of the artist, designed to transfigure reality through the diversity of the themes approached and his manner of deforming everything by color, thus communicating through the nonverbal language of the plastic arts.
The opening of adolescence and youth, marked by sentimental effusions, by the enthusiasm of the first artistic manifestations that made him confident in his possibilities of affirmation in the field of painting, pushed him from the fragile years of childhood to the springs of knowledge, perfection and gaining certainty on his own intellectual ability to discover the universe.
The total trust in the possibilities of reason to reach the ultimate truths of existence, the drama of non-fulfillment, the struggle with oneself, with the real possibilities of man to decipher the meanings of a world through art, to achieve revelation, is a permanent struggle with himself both in expression and in destiny.
Beyond the knowledge of artistic consciousness between "ugly and truth", the unsettling feelings of his work are often drawn by lyrical effusions, thoughts, and personal ideas with a profound philosophical transposition that bind the existence of life with the passing of both matter and spirit to eternity.
His touches do not need to be deciphered, explained, but ecstatically experienced at a level of maximum gravity. Their "irradiation" power must be accepted, sustained, and not apriori avoided on the reason that the chromatic subtleties are sometimes so rare in his work.
Lately, Stoian Andrei Stefan's painting is really the image of the drama of his artistic consciousness. It "speaks " through obsessive glances, motives, tellurian thoughts.
But the look is not and can not be interpreted only as a simple way of expression, but as an alternative to life, consciousness, attitude. Every visual encounter with the sky or earth, transposed in diffuse forms with intense, expressive and volcanic experiences, awakens a painful feeling of solitude with an acute interrogative note: Why?, How?, So be it? Who am I?, What for?, How far?, Where to?...and the questions could continue.
The eye, a window to the wisdom, a gate to the human microcosm through which the macrocosm is reflected, thus becomes a mirror of consciousness.
