Mihaela Stroe

I paint intuitively, guided by emotion rather than intention. I cannot create on command. A painting begins only when something inside me insists on being expressed.
Art has been present in the most important moments of my life — in times of joy, but especially in times of difficulty. Some works emerged from clarity, others from confusion or vulnerability. I do not plan them; I live them first.
When I paint, I enter a state of deep immersion where time seems to slow down. The canvas becomes a space where feelings that cannot be fully articulated find their own language through color, texture and gesture.
Each painting is not just an image, but a trace of an inner experience made visible.
