After last year’s success, the Open your HeART for HOSPICE event brought back into the spotlight, at the end of October 2024, new works of art passionately created by Leviatan Group team members and artists Anca Dușe and Contemporia, as well as artist Loretta Lorincz Băluță, who recently joined the Leviatan initiative to support the HOSPICE Casa Speranței Association.
Organized by Leviatan Group, at the reception of TN Offices 3A building, with the support of Vastint, the event took place in a special atmosphere, showcasing 79 art objects, including paintings, decorative objects and accessories, created over the course of a year.
The creations showcased during the event generated over 15,000 lei for HOSPICE Casa Sperantei, supporting the association’s mission to offer a chance to a better life to those in need. In this way, art and the desire to help came together once again at Open your heART, to support the noble cause of the HOSPICE Casa Sperantei Association.
The support offered to the association can cover the cost of consultations in the polyclinic for 53 patients, the cost of home visits by the HOSPICE team for 38 patients or the cost of hospitalizations for 12 patients in a day.
Artists who joined the 2024 edition of Open your heART for HOSPICE
Anca Dușe
Anca Dușe graduated from the Faculty of Art History and Art Theory and has improved her skills along the way in areas such as landscape and architectural photography, and travel writing. In March 2020, Anca started creating “miniature worlds”, a photographic concept born out of a desire to bring a touch of optimism into people’s lives during the pandemic. This form of visual expression became, over time, her mission to bring color and beauty to every day.
Contemporia
Contemporia is a design studio established in 2014 by Ioana Streza and Alex Burlacu with the idea of being a playground and experimentation space in the visual arts area. Over the years, the team has expanded to five members specialized in visual arts and architecture. The studio’s main focus has shifted towards creating contemporary jewelry.
Contemporia’s jewelry are unique creations or produced in limited series, combining traditional methods with modern technologies. The creation process starts with an idea and a sketch, evolving in the workshop under the craftsman’s hand, where metal is shaped with fire and hammer, until the final piece reveals its story.
Loretta Lorincz Băluță
Loretta Lorincz Băluță graduated from the Institute of Fine Arts “Ion Andreescu” in Cluj-Napoca and has dedicated 42 years to teaching, including 34 years at the National College of Arts “Regina Maria” in Constanta. Over the years she has attended several national and international exhibitions, and her works can be found in private collections in Romania and abroad.
