Summary/Abstract: Ion Vlasiu's prose is characterized by the dynamism of expression, through the complexity of writing, able to assimilate in its structure all the subjective reactions of the ego, but also the forms of reality that consciousness records, in a double movement of self-reflection and notation, placed under the sign of authenticity. Vlasiu's memorialist pages are characterized by an energetic writing, sometimes metaphorical, sometimes by a realistic sobriety, which brings to light various events and reflections, summing up the twists and turns of a destiny that is constantly searching for oneself. One can even say that one of the essentials of these books is the obsession of seeking / losing one's own identity; living in a confusing world through the proliferation of forms, where illusions often take the place of reality, and reality turns into a chimera, the artist fervently assumes the exigencies of the autobiographical genre, often reflecting the duplicity of the journal.
