Critical Review:
This master's art surprises everybody's imagination by its synthesis and universality. His philosophic and allegoric vision, his promotion of spiritual values, the reflection of these in his works in harmony with his professionalism and skill, all these are the components of an artist that works with dimensions and materials. All these characteristic features are presents in Mircea Puscas works.
