1972. Self-portrait.

    Not only was Andreescu a precocious talent, he had an unusual artistic sensitivity. Happily, his inspiration followed Grigorescu's open air painting which was, at that time, the most accomplished expression of contemporary Romanian painting.  All these elements contributed to shape Andreescu's style, the evolution of which gained from the artist's chance to further his studies in Paris.
