Flow Painting

Doina’s background is architecture by profession but the representation through drawing and painting was explored and studied from a very early age, manipulating the artistic language directly within her architectural presentations. Inspired by her new location around Hampton Court, London, surrounded by powerfully inspiring settings, she resumed experimenting with her oil painting studies from 2016. By taking further Master Classes, exploring the landscape en plein air in her local area by the river Thames, Richmond and Bushy Parks or during her various travels abroad, depicting the defining sense of a place, exploring figurative art and portraiture in her neo-impressionist style, veering into abstract, introducing elements from classical composition in her landscapes to create focus, painting is a continuous process of invention and mastery. Doina explores capturing and encapsulating the transience of a moment, in sumptuous brush strokes, using oil colours. The artworks emanate a sense of Now, in the Present, while playing on memory with the feel of the Old Masters decanted through the layering of time, capturing the essence of the moment. She is portraying the illusion of movement through time and space, extracting the sublime. Doina's preoccupation is to produce anti-anxiety artworks, a few touches of magic dispersed through balance and harmony in the composition, experimenting with new techniques. Launching her art career at the Salon Des Refuses in 2017, Doina continues to exhibit in museums and international exhibitions. Her artworks are in prominent private art collections and in one museum in a permanent collection.
