A Luminous Vision by Pantea Rareș — 1998
A beautiful and distinctive original reverse glass painting by Romanian artist Pantea Rareș (b. 1957), dated 1998. The work is painted on the reverse side of glass, creating the characteristic luminous and refined appearance of this traditional technique. The composition is particularly striking for its sophisticated figures, rich colors and highly decorative style.
The painting is signed on the front with the artist's distinctive monogram "RP" , incorporated into a heart-shaped detail, and dated 1998. The date is independently confirmed by the original documentation preserved on the reverse.
PROVENANCE & AUTHENTICITY
The original paper backing has been carefully preserved on the reverse. It bears the artist's name, "PANTEA RARES" , the date 1998 , and original gallery markings referring to Galeria Orizont in Bucharest. This combination of front signature, date, and preserved gallery documentation makes the piece exceptionally well-documented — a reassuring detail for any serious collector.
The work retains its original frame, designed by the artist — an important detail that contributes to its authenticity and presentation.
