< Back Emanuela Harris Sintamarian JAN 24 - APR 26 The Theater of Premature Truths Emanuela Iuliana Harris Sintamarian is an artist originally from Romania, but currently she lives and works in Oakland, CA. Her work is informed by the relationship between her identity to her sense of displacement, and the ways she has devised to reconcile those incongruous elements. She is interested in perception, memory and the mechanics of motion, their visual translation, and the dichotomies intrinsic to them. She explores the fluidity and tension generated by contradictions: organized chaos and uncontrolled order, machine-like generated imagery, and imperfections, organized chaos and logical absurd. Ema also tends to adulterate the boundaries between representative and abstract. She leverages marks, colors, shapes, and textures to construct an undefined world, rather than mirror reality. Ema's work has been shown in solo and group shows at Sunny Art Center, London, UK; Museum of Contemporary Arts, Constanta, Romania; Museum of Art, Arad, Romania; Triton Museum in Santa Clara, CA; Jack Fischer Gallery, San Francisco, CA; the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts, DE; Rosenfeld Gallery in Philadelphia; Niklas Belenius Gallery in Stockholm, Sweden; Institute of Contemporary Art, CA and Angel Orensanz Foundation, New York, NY. She was the recipient of the Leigh Weimer Award, (2021), the Artist Award SVCreates, San Jose, CA (2020), the Golden Foundation Fellowship, Golden Foundation, New Berlin, NY (2018), the Eureka Fellowship, Fleishhacker Foundation, San Francisco, CA (2013), ArtShift Award (2008) and the Silicon Valley Arts Council Award (2010). She is the finalist for the Sunny Art Award (2021), and has been nominated for SECA-SFMOMA-History Art Award, SF, CA Ema received her first MFA in printmaking from University of Delaware, and her second MFA in painting from San Jose State University. She is a Professor Associated at San Jose City College. Artist Statement: While a name can be a cosmic prison, identity acts as its guardian. My practice emerges from this paradox. As a Romanian immigrant in the United States, my work is shaped by a continuous negotiation between belonging and estrangement—an evolving dialogue among memory, displacement, and the strategies I have developed to reconcile these incongruities. Each artwork begins as a search for home: an unstable geography constructed through dualism, migration, and the fragments carried forward. I inhabit the liminal space between worlds—one remembered, one lived, and one imagined. From this tension, I create hybrid cartographies that resist literal interpretation. Architecture, ornament, and anatomy converge to form layered visual vocabularies—maps not of territory, but of perception. These works chart absence, transformation, and the act of becoming. By juxtaposing fragmented cultural iconography with abstraction, I construct polyphonic images—fractured allegories of my physical, emotional, and intellectual journey. Loss, displacement, and containment become catalysts for ritualized acts of self-expropriation, transforming absence into generative force. My process is interdisciplinary, spanning painting, drawing, printmaking, three-dimensional works, and muralism. I allow each medium to inform the others, privileging process over predetermined outcomes. I work within a space of “not knowing,” letting questions, rather than answers, guide each decision. I tend to work in series, believing that ideas unfold and evolve through repetition, variation, and recontextualization. Within each series, I alternate large-scale works with more intimate ones, considering how the viewer’s body engages with each—immersed in expansive works, contemplative with smaller pieces. Together, they form a rhythm between immersion and introspection. My approach balances cultivated spontaneity with rigorous research: sketching Romanian textiles, architectural motifs, and anatomical structures, while also responding intuitively to the evolving surface. Through layering, repetition, and erasure, I condense visual information into dense, stratified compositions where control and chance converge. This visual density mirrors the navigation of multiple cultural identities, inviting viewers to engage with ambiguity and multiplicity. Although this series emphasizes smaller, intimate formats, it lays the groundwork for future large-scale, memory-driven pieces activated by the viewer’s movement through space. My ongoing inquiry weaves together two central threads: Memory vs. Perception and Fragmentation. In the gaps between remembrance and invention, I locate the architecture of the self—continuously reconstructed, suspended between belonging and becoming. While informed by personal experience and broader social and cultural contexts, my work is not didactic. I do not provide answers or prescribe interpretations; rather, I invite viewers to inhabit spaces of ambiguity, reflection, and multiplicity. My paintings, drawings, and installations operate as open-ended inquiries—encounters with absence, memory, and fragmentation that encourage contemplation rather than instruction. In this way, my practice embraces complexity and uncertainty, honoring the layered, evolving nature of identity and the ongoing dialogue between self, place, and perception. Previous Next
