Alida Velea was born in 1967, in a small provincial town, Slănic Prahova. She currently lives and works in Bucharest, Romania. With a degree in engineering, the decision to transition to the field of fine arts came from a strong inner passion. Thus, a few years later after graduating from the first university, 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 that shape our lives. Her approach to painting predominantly embodies a figurative style, which she integrates into a cubism with slightly abstract or surrealist notes. She often combines this traditional approach with modern technologies and diverse mediums, resulting in the creation of unique and authentic works of art. Her works have been included in various exhibitions, both personal and group, including "RENOVART: Inner Colors, 100 artists for the future" at the Naval League - Magna Grecia, Matera, Italy. This year, in addition to the personal exhibition "Romania Stamp Collection: 1967-1985" in Piacenza, Italy she exhibited both at the Contemporary Art Fair in New York (USA) and at the exhibitions: "The way of seeing the world", Heidenreichstein (Austria) and "Art That Unites", Munich (Germany). Upcoming exhibitions include van Gogh gallery in Madrid (Spain), Red Dot Miami (USA, 2024) and Paris Art Fair (France, 2025).
