About this artwork
The Sântoader Large Abstract Painting blends vibrant artistry with the rich mythology of Saint Theodore’s Day. Celebrate Romanian folklore and elevate your space with this unique, cultural masterpiece.
The Legend of Sântoader
Celebrated on the first Saturday of Easter Lent (“Păresimi”), Sântoader’s Day has a mystical aura shaped by folklore and Orthodox Christian rituals. In pre-Christian beliefs, Sântoader is depicted as a horse with a horn on… its head—a restless creature that refrains from eating or drinking for an entire year. On this day, however, the mythical horse is allowed to graze, not on grass but on the hair of maidens.
Some legends mention not one but multiple horses of Sântoader, ranging from seven to nine, with Sântoaderul The Great being the most important. On the eve of this day, villagers cut and groom their cattle’s hair, a symbolic act meant to cleanse the animals of winter and promote their health and beauty.
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.
