Vlaicu Ionescu (Jiblea, Vâlcea County, Romania, April 1st of 1922 - New York City, February 22th of 2002) was one of the best authors and interpreters of Nostradamus prophecies in all history, having correctly interpreted and published (already in 1976, in his book Le message de Nostradamus sur l'ère prolétaire) the astronomical quatrain I.16 about the falling of communism in Russia in 1991.

Astonishing, Vlaicu Ionescu also predicted the month of May 1991 for the event of the end of communism in Russia.

Youth

Vlaicu Ionescu followed studies of bachelor-in-philosophy in Bucharest, then followed the Conservatory of Music and the Church School of Patriarchal Painting. He became a music composer, a musicologist and a abstract-expressionist painter.

Esoteric studies

After being 30 years old Vlaicu Ionescu began his esoteric studies during the decade of 1950 and was mainly dedicated to Nostradamus, uniting the frenzy with the deep research. Probably Ionescu had read the very serious book written by naval officer Roger Frontenac La clef secrète de Nostradamus (Les Editions Denoel, Paris 1950), that was based upon a military method of decryption called "Vigenère cipher" (a complicated evolution of "tabula recta") and clearly stated that one of the methods that should be used to understand Nostradamus' quatrains is Kabbalah (or better the higher secret level of Kabbalah hermetica).

But in November 1958, at the harshest of the troubled time of the communist regime in Romania, two officers from the Directorate General of Militia searched the house where Vlaicu and Lidia Ionescu lived with their three children. All with a political motivation and a punitive purpose. The confiscation of His private art collections followed.

It is investigated over 9 months. He goes on hunger strike. He is accused of imaginary crimes and sentenced to two years of common law prison. The night he was arrested, Lydia destroyed the manuscript "Nostradamus", terrified at the thought that it might be found at a subsequent search. It was a research that lasted for over 10 years.

Nostradamus

"Nostradamus", masterfully interpreted by Vlaicu Ionescu, would had been published after the seventies in different editions and volumes in Romanian, Italian and Japanese. All these books brought him the reputation of Nostradamus's best exeget. In 1958 destruction of the “Nostradamus” manuscript, the confiscation of the 32 canvases painted by the old masters, the months spent in prison represent a sinuous relationship with his own talent as a plastic artist.

All this description is part of the first chapter of the painter's life. Over the years given to the painting and the self-search laboratory, to the feverishness of creation, to the garden of symbols, we will return.

1960

In the decade of 1960 when there where Worl-wide youth protest (in the West against Capitalism, in the East against Communism) many young rumanians were arrested, and also Vlaicu Ionescu was arrested for a while. Nevertheless this event di not affected his public appearances the field of painting.

Thus he managed to open two personal exhibitions, in 1968 and 1969, in communist Bucharest. Moreover, He was an evaluator of particular collections that were sold to him by the escaping wealthy ones. In his patrimony was the only work of Rafaello in Romania, the Madonna col bambino (Madonna Nerucci).

Emigrating to New York

Invited to exhibit in Germany, he stayed there for a while, then settled in New York. He managed to get the precious Renaissance cloth out of the country and then bartered with it so he could get his girls out of Romania. The process may seem singular today, but the history of the Romanians between 1945 and 1989 is full of such exchanges, redemptions, sales - desperate maneuvers of some to save their approximations, doubled by the rapacity of the communist authorities to put their hands on the currency, price objects and anything of real value.

Nostradamus interpretation

In the case of Vlaicu Ionescu, the painting was only a beginning of the road because, as he had asked another time, after some yoga exercises, a transcendent entity, which will be the course of his life, when asked about His destiny and role answered “You will be a kind of Nostradamus".

He founded the International Center for Nostradamus Studies in the United States and in 1976 published His first study of the famous French preacher Le message de Nostradamus sur l'ère prolétaire (Nostradamus's message on the proletarian era). There were foretold, already in 1976, the destruction of the communist system and the collapse of the USSR in 1991. Referring to Romania, Vlaicu Ionescu stated that he was able to decipher in a series of major events in its history: the unification of principalities, the war for independence, the Soviet invasion of 1944, the revolution of 1989, the death of Nicolae Ceausescu.

Paintings

In 1968-1969, Vlaicu Ionescu opened in the Library Hall in New York City two large exhibitions of modern, expressionist-abstract and mystical painting.
