Sanda Bucur

Tapiseria Sandei Bucur, Phoenix II, face parte dintr-un ciclu tematic inspirat de pasarea mitica inzestrata cu virtuti precum sacrificiul, libertatea, creativitatea, darzenia, credinta, rigoarea si vigoarea; la sfarsitul unei vieti lungi si misterioase, aceasta isi face singura, din tamaie si numeroase plante aromatice, cuib, pe care apoi il aprinde; rugul astfel creat este necesar atat sacrificiului asumat, cat si renasterii intrupate. Pentru a-si construi un asemenea cuib – in tapiseria expusa, acesta constituie elementul central al tapiseriei – pasarea a ostenit in zboruri de-alungul carora a inregistrat campuri, paduri, asezari si ape. Vazute de sus, prin perspectiva numita chiar vol d’oiseau, acestea constituie canavaua pe care se profileaza locul magic in prag de prefacere. – Dr. Doina Pauleanu, critic de arta si director al Muzeului de Arta din Constanta.
