Overview
“Imagine subacvatică” is a 1987 work by Romanian artist Popescu Suciu Mariana, currently part of the collection of the Museum of Ethnography. The piece exists as a printed image mounted in a modest wooden frame, and the museum holds the framed object rather than a separate canvas.
Technique & Style
The frame is constructed of light‑stained wood, assembled with small nails that are visible along its edges. On the interior of the frame’s back, handwritten annotations record the title in quotation marks, the artist’s name, and the date 1987, providing basic identification for the work.
Context
The Romanian phrase “Imagine subacvatică” translates to “underwater image,” suggesting a thematic focus on aquatic environments, although the visual content of the print itself is not visible in the documented view of the frame’s back.
History & Provenance
The work was created in 1987 and subsequently entered the holdings of the Museum of Ethnography, where it remains on display or in storage as part of the institution’s representation of late‑20th‑century Romanian visual art.
