Jeanina Rat

I'm a contemporary Romanian artist, creative and passionate of symbols and stories. I paint from my home studio in Bucharest, and also I'm teaching children the basics of visual art: shape, proportion, volume, shadow and light.
I graduate University of Art and Design in Cluj-Napoca. Painting and practicing yoga for several years, I tried to find a simple way to associate symbols found in mythology and folklore for a visual that is easy to decipher for the modern human. I always find support in decoding and bringing to life the symbols by using ''The Dictionary of Symbols'' by Alain Gheerbrant and Jean Chevalier. This book is always present in my art studio.
The compositions revel symbols and stories based on dreams, signs of life, and memories, transferred on canvas in a decorative way with great attention to details.
