  • His works are described by himself as belonging to cosmic Romanticism. He completed his high school education at Fra?ii Buze?ti High School in Craiova in 1950. Among Balasa's most notable works are several large-scale fresco paintings, such as those decorating the inside of the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Ia?i. In 1973 and 1976 the Bucharest Mayor's office ordered and paid him to paint the portraits of Nicolae and Elena Ceau?escu.
  • In the late 1980s, Bala?a was accused of promoting Ceausescu's cult of personality.
  • Apart from the works contracted by the Bucharest City hall, no other proof has been produced.
  • Bala?a's father and uncle were in fact imprisoned for more than 20 years for opposing the Communist regime. In June 2005, Bala?a sued the French paper Le Monde for defamation after said paper reproduced a propaganda painting by another painter, claiming it was one of his [1].
