Nimicul

nimicul nu-i

dar

el există

nimicul

emfatic

bate pasul defilării

în praful

covorului roșu

și apoi ...

tună

și plouă

praful

în ochi

Încotro?

uneori

labirintul

e orbecăire

pe drum drept

în vertij

de negru

alb

gri

scânteietor

de ce negru?

unde-i albul?

câte griuri?

care e scânteietor?

Abac

cronos macină petrecerea

înșiruind

abac

de rid

cu rid

lângă alt rid

martie

mugurul

ghem de gheață

deșirând zâmbet

deșirând cald

deșirând senin

în realul spulberat

de liniștea asurzitoare

Mărțișor

aș anina

de roș' alb

un strop de zâmbet

pitit după un colț de nor

un strop de gingășie – ghiocel

ițit de sub frunza inert gălbejită

un strop de inimă roșă iubire

chircită în sipetul din asfințit

și ...

apoi ...

sub cascada de stropi

mi-aș scălda sufletul

de negură

hâd

piatră – povară

necuviincios

Ileana Costea, PhD, I.C. ART Director

Ileana Costea, PhD

Ileana is a professor at California State University, Northridge (CSUN). She has a degree in Architecture and Urban Planning from the Ion Mincu Institute in Bucharest, Romania, and a Master of Art in Industrial Design and a PhD in Decision Theory and Problem Solving from UCLA.

With a strong artistic and cultural background, Ileana has always been interested in art. In parallel with her manufacturing engineering profession, her passion for art has been demonstrated in many ways. She is an art collector and promoter. She has donated art to CSUN and other non-profit institutions. She has organized and curated art exhibitions and events, made numerous presentations, and written articles on various art topics.

In 2011 Ileana started an art gallery, I.C. ART, to represent the American heterogeneous artist Jerry W. McDaniel. The gallery was originally located in Palm Springs, California, from 2011-2015. The gallery was then moved to Los Angeles, with Ileana transforming her residence into a house-gallery (which can be visited by appointment only). She has another gallery in Paris. Every year Ileana spends a few months traveling — mostly in Europe, but also in Asia, Australia and New Zealand — attending and organizing or participating in art events and art fairs and acting as an art agent.

Ileana is an educator who teaches, among other courses, computer aided design. She’s also a journalist who has published over 60 articles, the author of three books, a skilled event planner, and a very charismatic public speaker. In addition to representing Jerry W. McDaniel with her I.C. ART gallery, she collaborates with him on the computer side of the art (digital experiments, advertisement material, animations, and videos). For more advanced computer work she and Mr. McDaniel have collaborated with a gifted young designer from Romania, Bogdan Alexandru Ungureanu. For videos she has collaborated with Ben Todica, a journalist, author of two books, and movie-maker from Melbourne, Australia, and with Doina Spilca, an expert in YouTube design, from Bucharest, Romania.

Ileana is currently working on Volume II of her collected articles and on a book about the art of Jerry W. McDaniel called “My Illustrator’s Era”. On the latter project she is collaborating with a former student of Mr. McDaniel’s, Elizabeth A. Sheehan, a cultural anthropologist with a Ph.D. from the City University of New York.
