Painting on glass -Nicolae Groza The technique of painting on glass was practiced throughout Europe and as far as India, China and Japan. We find wonderful examples of Western European art during the Renaissance in Italy France and Spain as well as in the Low Countries and in Central Europe. In Georgian Britain the art of "transfers" of engravings onto glass was a different, yet related technique. Also famous are the 19th c East Anglian school of naive paintings on glass in maple frame depicting "Dutch scenes" with windmills. In Bohemia, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria, Southern Poland but also in Italy, Spain and Portugal religious representations on glass, produced by naive artists, survivesto the present day. Despite their cultural and geographical differences hey have many common traits. In Orthodox countries we find icons on glass especially in Transylvania. The technique is carried on to the present day. Nicolae Groza, a Romanian artist, now living in Belgium, near Liege, follows the tradition of Transylvanian icon painters on glass. Groza's themes borrow symbols, motifs and the graphism of the old icons, yet he is inspired from non-religious subjects - from folk legends and historical characters. Nicoale has an extraordinary sense of humour, imagination and a high artistry which sets him apart from his contemporaries. He has held many individual and group exhibitions of these works which are in private collections in England, Belgium, Romania, Germany, France. Nicolae Groza's main form of expression are huge murals, mozaics, decorative panels in ceramics. His oil paintings are to be found in Musems and private collections in Europe. Painted Glass Painted Glass Five centuries have blotched a patina Of algae across their faces. The eyes, Though blemished, join mother, child In a gaze that seems eternal. Watch now: a modernist painter Working in wax repel – it dries, Mottled as alga; a coloured mould Spreads like something elemental, His pigments pure as glazes And figures still arranged Like puppets: Joseph, polite Behind his pillar – now crayoning The ox, the ass, with hieratic gazes. They crane their necks, unchanged By centuries: the palette Still as primary, her cradling Quite as gentle. Poem by Giles Watson, 2011. Stained glass window at St. Andrew's Church, East Hagbourne.
