This painting reveals what Rene Huyghe called “double reading". The interpretation of the symbol combines with the deciphering the plastic organization of the image, in order to find out the thinking and feelings which have inspired it. I must mention the fact that Aculina Strasnei Popa spent her childhood with her family, deported in Baragan. Memories of that dramatic childhood followed her throughout the years, enriching her creative subconscious. That is the background the Ciocarlanul's figure, the bird of Baragan, has emerged from. In the artist's imagery, the bird has become a symbol with rich connotation. The bird is linking the heaven and earth, suggesting the cosmic unity the human being is part of A philosophical idea expressed with subtlety and strictly plastic. Actually, we do not find anywhere in this painting any discursive allusion or a "literary" substratum. Everything is what a German theoretician called "picturature". Furthermore, the "Ciocarlanul" from Aculinei Strasnei Popa painting takes our thoughts to the "bird- soul”, the messenger from our folk-tales, a subject of great concern also for Brancusi. "The lecturing" of the plastic organization of the image reveals the soul substratum of the artist's creation. The anxiety, the inner nervousness, the dramatic sense of an existence, or what the ancient Greeks called "daimonion" dictate the net of her chromatic composition. Maybe it contains with fidelity her reaction in front of life. We could say that this chromatic structure has an autobiographical meaning. Yes, this is Aculina Strasnei Popa. The artist uses less tones but of strong sonority Lot of red, a red for blood and life. On this background, the image of the "Ciocarlan" completes its signification; it is the bird symbolizing the triumph of life. This is the intimate message of Aculina Strasnei Popa's art, an optimistic message. In fewer paintings, but with the same expressive intensity, the motive of water appears. Its symbolical meaning takes us on unpredictable ways, to Hieronimus Bosch, that Flemish painter who filled the pattern of this symbol with all his anxieties generated by the contact with the society of his times. The water, through its irresolute fluidity, its unforeseen depths, full of a hidden mystery, is the memorial symbol of the human unconsciousness, where the repressed feelings live. Through an energetic, large brushing, with multiple destinations, the water seen by Aculina Strasnei Popa suggests anxiety, even spleen, a widely generalized feeling of this postmodern age. Watching the unhindered, free flight of the Ciocarlan over the infinite space of the Baragan field, we are not to lose our faith in the human being. Beyond the dramatic expression, the art of Aculinei Strasnei Popa is tonic while the artist she is entirely fulfilled. Horia Medeleanu Historic and critic de arts
