marmura ”Babadag”
”Dl. Laurentiu Macarie, printr-o sensibilitate extrem de speciala printre manuitorii de dalti si barde, este o certitudine singulara in arta noastra in clipa de fata”
Constant Calinescu
sculpture in gneiss Cyprus
gneiss is a very widespread rock type, especially in the lower parts of the continental crust, but it is also a common rock on the surface in some places and other shield areas where crystalline rocks are not covered by a layer of sedimentary rocks.
gneiss sculpture from Cyprus
”Nopti si zile de cart la bordul navelor, pe marile calme ori involburate ale lumii, sau poate nereidele - acele frumoase fecioare, divinitati marine - au adus in sufletul ofiterului Macarie Laurentiuvocatia marmurii si a daltii, luciulsi ”apele” acestui material creindui aceasi stare de reverie precum necuprinsul acvatic si, in final subjugandu-l.”
Ileana Ghelase

"Hazelnut", "verona green" and "ruschita" marble
”Originalitatea stilului, componistica inedita in volumetrie, calitatea materialelor folosite, modul absolut acribic de finisare, il consacra pe Laurentiu Macarie ca valoros exponent al genului sculptural romanesc.”
Dragos Ciobanu
gneiss from cyprus
”Sculptorul stapaneste cu dragoste si daruire, dar si cu forta materialul, alternanta de suprafete ruguroase cu cele indelung polisate, conferind lucrarilor farmec si o sugestivitate aparte.”
Gheorghe Cioranu
gneiss from cyprus
”...am pasit pragul elegantului si somptuosului, salon, bogat ornamentat, si am ramas profund impresionat de suita de compozitii cioplite in marmura care mi-au captat intreaga atentie, determinandu-ma sa uit de celelalte motive si ”interese”...”
Augustin Macarie
