Short Bio
Doina, a self-taught artist, was born in 1971 and raised in the confines of communism in Romania, where artistic freedom was suppressed. In 2004, Doina embarked on a life-changing journey, leaving their homeland behind to seek new horizons in the United States. This transition unlocked a world of opportunities and became the catalyst for her artistic awakening.
Statement
My art is an exploration of the inner landscapes of the mind, heart, and soul. Drawing inspiration from my personal experiences, dreams, and observations of the world around me, I seek to capture moments of vulnerability, resilience, and introspection. By delving into the complex tapestry of human emotions, I aim to shed light on the subtleties and complexities that shape our existence.
While my artistic approach may lack the formal training traditionally associated with the art world, I believe that self-taught artists possess a unique advantage—the freedom to embrace unconventional techniques, unconventional perspectives, and unconventional narratives. This freedom allows me to challenge preconceived notions, break boundaries, and create work that is authentically mine.
