Alida Velea

Alida Velea is a Romanian visual artist known for her diverse work across digital collage, mixed media, and painting. She currently lives and works in Bucharest. With a degree in engineering, the decision to transition to the field of fine arts came from a strong inner passion. Thus, in 2020, Alida obtained a First Class Honors Degree, in Fine Arts, from the University of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom.
Alida's artistic focus lies in the exploration of one's own cultural identity and its interaction with the personal and social events. Her artistic style often explores human identity, nature, and futuristic themes, frequently blending traditional techniques with modern digital media.
Her works have been included in various exhibitions, both personal and group. For this year, she already had three personal exhibitions and her works were part of several group exhibitions, both in Romania and abroad (Budapest, Berlin, Rome, Milan).
Her works have received numerous merit awards and have been published in various art magazines and books.
