Livia-Doina Stanciu

ARTISTIC STATEMENT
For me, painting is the opportunity to explore the deep self and to communicate.
I am fascinated by shapes and colors, the kaleidoscope of the sky and earth, as well as the living world. I paint things that I like and things that move me.
I would be very happy if my paintings offered to the viewer a glimpse of the beauty and emotion that inspired me to make them.

SHORT BIO
I was born and raised in Craiova, a town in southwest Romania. I have lived in Bucharest since 1980.
I started my career as a computer engineer and later assistant professor at Politehnica University, but I changed fields and joined the corporate world in the '90s.
I left the corporate world in 2012 and devoted myself to painting.
After learning the basics on my own and taking private classes, I studied art at The School of Art and at The National University of Arts in Bucharest (Painting, graduated in 2019).
My art can be found in private collections in Romania, France, Italy or United Stated.
