In her works, Sarah Daria Muscalu paints workers, who trace the foundation of a construction site. The workers, with white engineer helmets, draw constructivist structures, transmute grids, prepare for the painting of walls. Apparently, industrious engineers work on a site, but putting ourselves into their world through a mental experiment, backed up by their visual representation, we realize that they are de facto engaged in making post-constructivist abstract paintings. Sarah no longer works directly on the canvas, but simulates a population of small oleo-political figurines performing in the operative theatre of the canvas. Her references, even though they are direct, because they also send the viewer to a building site in the aggressive proximity of her studio window, now demolished to make room for the extension of the yard to luxury residential apartments in the industrial area of the city, strongly circumscribe the ambiguous condition of physical work and creative artist, which is often ignored, levelled by a culture of entrepreneurship. Daria's painting is multiple allusive, underlining realistic thinking, constructivist principles, the desires of the socialist realism, discursive and socially engaged painting, processual and performative painting and her own everyday experiences. In the white space of the canvas, before visualizing the drawing of any brush, you can feel an overwhelming introspection on the condition of the artist as a cultural worker, as a construction engineer of the new places of living in an increasingly hierarchical and accumulated social field.
