Summary/Abstract: Popular creations are no stranger to the fabulous, because they are inspired by the world of mythology, the characters are fantastic, they have unrealistic qualities and the imagined situations belong to the realm of the imaginary. Fabulous refers to something beyond imagination, enormous, extraordinary, belonging to the mythological world, fantastic, wonderful, imaginary, unreal. Numerous Romanian folk creations are kept closer to the archaic meanings of the mythical structures derived from the vertical organization of the space they imagined. The pomp is specific to the holiday and is also found in the imaginary world of popular creations. The splendor shows the pleasure of man for color and light, which floods the entire mythical space, giving it a restful and family air, using its own chromatic, just to customize a certain vision within the sublime. The imaginary universe of popular works is aestheticized, sacralized, accepting the everyday and coexisting the sacred and the profane.
