About this artwork
Experience the vibrant essence of Sibiel’s unique Ispas tradition with the Ispas Large Abstract Painting. Rooted in the heart of Mărginimea Sibiului, this artwork portrays a custom celebrated on the Ascension of the Lord, combining faith, culture, and prosperity rituals.
On this special day, children, young boys on decorated horses, and girls in traditional holiday attire gather around the village crosses (“troițe”). Their voices unite in a traditional… song:
“Holy Cross, don’t go
‘Cause the young come with good horses
And maidens with crowns
And priests with prayers,
And the old with bows.”
The custom celebrates the commemoration of heroes, the blessing of crops, and community unity. Participants wear consecrated lovage bunches around their waists, believed to provide protection and abundance.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Alice (Alexandra Camelia Stanciu) paints from the edge of myth — where Romanian folklore dissolves into gesture and color, where ancient symbols resurface as instinct rather than ornament.
Trained in graphic design, animation, and illustration, she draws from the pastoral traditions of Transylvania, the solar symbols of pre-Christian Romania, the silent grammar of a culture that encoded its cosmology into textiles and ceremony. No literal folk motifs — only their emotional residue, rendered in urgent, gestural acrylics.
To collect her work is to bring something genuinely rare into a room.
