22 years ago on 14th of June 2004 in downtown Bucharest, on a day engulfed by the smell of linden tree a young handsome Romanian American guy proposed to me !
We married 6 months later and started our family that now is a fam of 4 as we created two amazing kids !
4 years ago my dad entered for the second time in a coma and died 5 days later in 19th of June 2022!

When I was discussing with ref the title of his exhibition at Oana Visoiu Cutucache I decided instantly on this particular piece of art named ‘Spiral of Life’ ….as life has it’s ups and downs and as my grandfather said once : we all get Nord and we will all die one day ! No exception !

So, we should enjoy life at its fullest while we are still in the spiral of life , isn’t it?

Dragonul și luna împreună

Când un dragon este reprezentat lângă luna plină, imaginea poate simboliza:

* unirea forțelor Yang (dragonul) cu aspectele mai Yin ale lunii;
* armonia dintre puterea cosmică și ordinea naturală;
* înțelepciunea și iluminarea spirituală;
* aspirația către nemurire și atingerea tărâmurilor cerești.

În unele picturi tradiționale, dragonul urmărește sau protejează o perlă luminoasă. Această perlă este uneori asociată simbolic cu luna și reprezintă cunoașterea, energia vitală și perfecțiunea spirituală.

În noaptea cu lună plină

În folclorul chinez, se considera că energia cerului este deosebit de puternică în nopțile cu lună plină. Dragonii, fiind creaturi cerești și controlori ai norilor și ploilor, erau văzuți ca fiind mai aproape de lumea oamenilor în astfel de momente, deși nu există o legendă universală care să spună că dragonii apar exclusiv la lună plină.

Astfel, imaginea dragonului sub luna plină transmite de obicei ideea de putere armonizată, prosperitate, protecție și conexiune cu ordinea cosmică.

The main body of the ancient is dragon-shaped: The dragon is the spiritual totem of the Chinese nation, carrying the cultural identity of “descendants of the dragon” and symbolizing national unity, cohesion and progress. As the
“God of Rain”, it also implies cloud-seeding, rain-bringing, nourishing all living things, and favorable weather.
The auspicious beast beside the dragon-shaped main body is Gongfu, one of the nine sons of the dragon. It loves water and is good at controlling it, symbolizing calming water, warding off evil, and guarding the safety of the local land and water. Together, they form a cultural conception of “bringing rain, protecting water, and blessing all living beings”.
The Sweet Dew Ancient Well is equipped with three faucets, corresponding to the three secrets (Om, Ah, Hum) in Tibetan Buddhism, symbolizing the purification of body, speech and mind. You can wash your hands here, or pat your forehead with clean water, following the traditional water purification for mind, spirit and body !

În templele budiste din China, dragonul încolăcit pe o coloană are mai multe semnificații simbolice, provenite din îmbinarea budismului cu tradițiile chinezești:
* Puterea și protecția – Dragonul (în chineză, 龍 lóng) este considerat o ființă binevoitoare care protejează locurile sacre de influențe negative și de spiritele rele.
* Legătura dintre Cer și Pământ – Forma sa șerpuitoare, care urcă pe coloană, simbolizează ascensiunea energiei dintre lumea umană și cea divină. Coloana poate fi văzută ca o „axă” care unește cerul și pământul.
* Înțelepciunea și iluminarea – În budismul est-asiatic, dragonii sunt uneori gardieni ai Dharmei (învățăturii lui Buddha). Ei reprezintă forțe naturale transformate și puse în slujba iluminării.
* Prosperitatea și binecuvântarea – În cultura chineză, dragonul este asociat cu ploaia, fertilitatea, abundența și norocul. Prezența sa pe coloanele templului invită armonie și prosperitate.
* Ascensiunea spirituală – Dragonul care se încolăcește și urcă spre partea superioară a coloanei simbolizează drumul practicantului către o stare spirituală mai înaltă și către trezire.

‘Air’ oil on canvas by Hamid Nicola Katrib part of solo exhibition at titled ‘ Spiral of life’ April-May 2026!
Now in view at till .art.bucharest


In traditional Chinese culture and cosmology, “air” is not usually treated as a separate classical element the way it is in some Western systems. Instead, concepts related to air are mostly expressed through Qi (Chi), wind, breath, heaven, and movement.

Here are the main symbolic associations:

Qi (氣 / 气) — Vital Breath or Life Force

The closest concept to “air” is Qi, the invisible life energy that flows through people, nature, buildings, and the universe.

Qi symbolizes:

* Life force
* Breath
* Movement
* Vitality
* Spiritual energy
* Harmony between Heaven and Earth

In practices like Feng Shui, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tai Chi, and Qigong, healthy flowing Qi is considered essential for health and fortune.

Libelulă Fish - oil on canvas by Hamid Nicola Katrib with frame that has antique patina created especially by artist for this piece of art !
Sometimes we are the victim of our own beauty ….
The beautiful fish has no ideea that he will be sacrificed for his beauty !
Sometimes being beautiful does not serve one good ! And being vocal , telling the truth and being smart is the same ! Some prefer just a pretty face as it is easier to take advantage of it !

!!! Announcement : starting tomorrow till .art.bucharest this beautiful piece can be admired in the window of Bulevardul Gheorghe Duca , Sector 1 , Bucharest !

Is my humble contribution for the comunity that lives in Sector 1 area or travelers that arrive at Gara de Nord and take the Line 79 buss from Gara de Nord buss ( Troleibuz) station and have to face the dezolant surroundings of abandoned Hotel Dunărea, bankrupt stores and now also huge construction work on the tram lines !

At least while waiting in the station ( which is just a bench ) they can admire some art in the window of R Art Space - a manifest of art that shows how art can change even the ugliest place in something meaningful !
I do hope will do something about that area of our capital city as it is the first place travelers see when they enter Bucharest by train or by the train that connects with the center of the capital city of Romania!
