Today, Dr. Lelia Pîrvan-Rus, Director of the Constanța Art Museum in Romania and Associate Professor at Ovidius University of Constanța (PhD), visited our institute. During the meeting with the institute's leadership, the parties discussed developing mutual cooperation, expanding academic mobility, and implementing joint projects in the fields of fine and applied arts.

Following the meeting, the guest became closely acquainted with the institute's activities, visiting creative workshops, exhibition halls, and educational processes.

For information: during the visit, an exhibition titled MAREEN — "Marine Symbols and Visual Metamorphoses" is scheduled to be held at our institute from May 4–10 as part of the Erasmus+ program. The project is organized in cooperation with the Faculty of Arts of Ovidius University in Constanța and includes a series of masterclasses and an exhibition program.

Specifically, on May 4, Associate Professor Lelia Pîrvan-Rus held a masterclass for "Sculpture" students on the topic of "Negative Relief — Marine Structures," highlighting artistic expressions formed through depth and void, as well as the interpretation of natural processes in art.

This visit is of great importance in expanding the institute's international partnerships, exchanging experience, and creating new creative opportunities for students.
