CRITICAL REVIEW


        He debuts as a painter but quits painting in favour of sculpture. His work reveals a realism with expressionist nuances, very fashionable in-between wars. Fulicea gives his characters a monumental force and a certain dramatic tension, very similar to those of the Croatian sculptor Ivan Mestrovici.
