Biography

At the beginning of the 20th century, the painting was more of a hobby than a real option to be able to feed themselves for Ghiata. He sympathized more with science and was about 1908 to Bucharest to continue their education over there. Only through its local Professor Cantacuzino Ghiata was recommended to devote himself rather to the art, as his paintings were attracted.

By Artur Verona, he received extensive training in the field of drawing, 1913 Ghiata accompanied his teacher for a short time even to Paris. At the Parisian institutions that he attended, learned Ghiata know the Post-Impressionism that greatly influenced his later works. He drew mainly landscapes and still life these days.

After his marriage in 1927 Ghiata first started thinking seriously about making the art to his actual profession and established a short time later his own studio in Cotroceni one. From then on he lived de facto full-time as a painter and went this profession until his death continues to.

Shortly before his death bequeathed Ghiata his studio and the adjoining house, which also belonged to him, including the content of the Romanian state. On the basis of its 1994 Dumitru and Aurelia Ghiata Mueseum was opened, which also showed the works of his wife.
