My name is Ioana. I live in Bucharest, Romania, and grew up in a small Romanian village. My happy countryside childhood nurtured my creativity and free-spirited, bohemian nature. I'm a self-taught artist. After leaving a corporate career that didn’t feel right, I returned to my true passion: art. Creating brings me immense joy, and I often lose track of time while immersed in my work. Inspired by nature, people, vivid colors, and patterns - both simple and intricate - I enjoy experimenting with various art styles and techniques, from monochromatic to colorful, minimalistic to detailed, and portraits to abstract landscapes.
