Amira Munteanu Bergmann - Woman in jacket and hat

Surrealist aesthetics emerged around the 1920s, encompassing all fields of artistic research. Specifically, in the visual arts, Surrealism sought to explore the human subconscious and translate it into artwork through a mechanical writing process based on dream analysis. Consequently, Surrealist artworks propose the representation of a dreamlike dimension, completely dissociated from reality. However, this representation often relies on a hyperrealistic formal rendering, precisely to paradoxically accentuate the illusory and ambiguous nature of the surreal dimension.

Artist Amira Munteanu Bergmann draws inspiration from a surrealist aesthetic, faithfully drawing on the historical avant-garde and the figure of Salvador Dalí in particular. Indeed, like the Catalan master, Amira Munteanu Bergmann's poetics is the result of a mix of free associations, where cultural references (where an interest in the esoteric is also accompanied by a certain ironic and pop vein) are combined with abstract/symbolic elements. Formally, Amira Munteanu Bergmann also closely follows the Surrealist school, paradoxically making her visions concrete. Her figures are treated with a hyperrealism that enhances their plasticity, and there is an almost obsessive attention to detail.

Amira Munteanu Bergmann was born in Transylvania in 1972. She began her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts, Department of Theater Scenography, and then attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice on a short scholarship. Amira Munteanu was the first Romanian artist to exhibit at the Palace of Parliament in Bucharest after the fall of the Ceausescu regime. She continued her studies in Italy at the University for Foreigners in Perugia and finally at the Academy of Fine Arts in L'Aquila, where she studied Painting and Sculpture. A lover of high society, she frequented Rome's salons for many years and toured Europe, visiting museums, fairs, public art collections, artists' studios, and private collectors. In 2007, she decided to move to Milan, where she still lives and works. Her first work engagements occurred during her studies, at media and advertising agencies, in various theaters, and in newspaper editorial offices. In this way, she alternates her interests, balancing her entrepreneurial career with her passion for various mystical and occult disciplines.
