Arlequin Painting

Hey there! I am Oana and I am from Romania, a self-taught artist who loves to paint on canvas and draw on paper, expressing this way a bunch of feelings. I started this journey in order to present my feelings through art to the world and to anyone passioned about beauty and diversity. I love to play with different mediums like oil, and acrylic colors and acrylic pencils to paint on large (200×150 cm) and medium canvas (90×70 cm or bigger) admiring this way the nature, beauty, fashion and basicaly everything around that inspires me. I started quite early, around 5 years old, to draw different random shapes that I used to color. After I developed a passion for clothes like any other girl, so I began to draw different colored dresses, skirts, after that women faces, eyes in particular etc. Later on, about three years ago I started seriously to grow this hobby and to transform it into something more. So what is my art about? I am driven by passion and harmony, I love to play with colors and shapes, I admire human’s nature and women’s power. Being a self-taught painter I love how my creativity can rise from a single thought or dream or feeling, experiences. I am drawing every day, anytime I find a moment, I am also drawing on paper using watercolor pencils and markers, anything that crosses my mind, especially women faces cause I admire the women power that can cover everything around and actually this is the number one theme in all my work. After, I start to cut every drawn and colored piece of paper and this way the magic begins: everything gets transformed into amazing-abstract-colored 50×70 cm collages. What inspires me? The marble from the Univers and the power within human beings. I also have a few models. From primary school my parents bought me some books with famous painters and I fall in love with Gustav Klimt, Claude Monet and Paul Gauguin. My oil and acrylic paintings are limited editions, cannot be reproduced 100%. If required, each painting can be reproduced 60% only because the colors combinations that I use is different each time, depending how I feel the canvas in that particular moment.
