Oana Alexandra Arabagiu

As a self-taught artist, my work honors the strength and resilience of women. Through bold colors, intricate patterns, and natural motifs, I depict women as graceful yet fierce, embodying empowerment and transformation. Each figure, adorned with organic elements like leaves and feathers, highlights the connection between feminine strength and nature's vitality.

In my unique mixed-media collages, I draw and cut portraits, shapes, and symbols, layering them to form narratives on canvas. This method keeps colors vivid and adds a 3D effect, inviting viewers to explore deeper meanings and discover inner power. Recurring symbols—feathers, leaves, wings, and expressive eyes—capture feminine resilience and creation.

My journey has been one of resilience too; even after health challenges, art became my sanctuary. Color lifts my spirit, each hue embodying a feeling or state of being. I see every woman as having her own identity palette. My work celebrates women as their own pillars of strength, complete and capable, embracing the dualities within.
This is Woman—strong, fabulous, and self-sufficient.
