FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Triumphant
Exhibit by Young Artist
Who Couldn’t Leave Her Bed A Few Years Ago
Washington, DC: Madalina Nicola’s
luminous, hauntingly beautiful paintings go on exhibit at the Alex Gallery
on Friday, October 7, and will be on view from October 7 through November
1.
Madalina’s work is noted for radiant
color and emotional intensity: faith, hope, and a reverence for the
natural world can be found in her large canvases.
This is the second major one-woman show
on the East coast for Madalina, who lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Her success as a talented painter achieving
national recognition is especially amazing considering that for years
she suffered crippling pain in her joints and muscles that kept her
bed-ridden and unable to move or to paint.
Fibromyalgia, Asthma, and Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome almost destroyed her; doctors treated her with steroids that
made the former model get depressed, and still the inexplicable, crippling
pain continued.
A combination of prayer, exercise, natural
remedies, and focusing more and more on art saved her. By 2000 she was
able to stand and work at her canvas, she says, due to positive thinking
and belief in miracles.
