The conservation works of
the mural paintings from the church of Cepari Village brought to light
the existence of a valuable ensemble of Romanian medieval paintings
from 1752. The discovered frescoes were entirely covered by oil
paintings executed between 1889 and 1890. Unexpected evidences of older
painting beneath the new one were found during the preliminary research
performed for the submission of the conservation project.

The project of the DALA Foundation started from the idea of restoring the dialogue between two cultures, rural and urban. The setting of the Sibiel village provides, through the dynamic of changes, interesting documenting - research - experimenting material. The Sibiu outskirts, currently going through a transformation process that can be followed along several lines (image, human composition, and oral tradition), provide their journey of identity development up to present times. |

| An Alteration Phenomenon of Cinnabar Red Pigment in the Mural Paintings from Sucevita |
|
| by Ioan Istudor, Anca Dina, Geanina Rosu, Doina Seclaman and Gheorghe Niculescu | |
|
The mural paintings from
northern Moldavia have always been a point of interest for specialists
in conservation, due to their technical qualities that assured their
preservation over the years in the severe climate of this region in
Romania.
Over the years, both exterior and interior paintings
showed colour alterations caused by environmental factors like
atmospheric deposits, humidity and light among others. Through
physical, chemical or biological processes, these factors induced
superficial chromatic alterations of the colours, modifying the
artistic expression of the paintings.
These alterations are generally considered as patina.
