COMMENTARY by Valentin CIUCA International Member Asociation of Critic, 2006 “One Century Of Arts in Bucovina”:

"Influenced in his turn, to a great extent, by the authority of his professor, Liviu Suhar,CATALIN CHIFAN commented upon themes that the Master was fond of, without turning however, into an epigone. Practically, the post graduate extension of his respect indicates a personal option, a serious modality of preparing his separation. He already does it by inscribing his compositions in an operational scenography. On the stage there are characters from ancient times, actors and sorry players, aristocrats and plebeians. The painter has the gift of constructing images, knowing how to animate relationships and how to relate them properly within the whole. The individualization of these histrionic appearances does not rely on imaginary dialogues, but on the atmosphere of the particular stage where this events take place. The setting elements of this perpetual carnivalesque performance, real Gothic structures by the angularity of contours, suggest the presence of the ludic as an animating tension of the graphic ensemble. By the capacity to construct and simbollicaly motivate the composition, CATALIN CHIFAN's painting contains the signs of a promising career."
