Marinela Ciobanu

Born on the 24th of September 1984, in Bacau, Romania.Currently I live and work in Iai, Romania. My art represents a critical discourse about contemporary society; represent a thought of isolation, but I don't try to define, to hint, to analyse, but to propose a feeling about the world. It is an alternative world in the attempt of returning to the original experiences. My works can be seen like a world built on a sentiment who determines the suitable value that follows the sentiment to achievement a visual artistic syntax so much like a retinal and a conceptual address. My projects follow in particular the issue of privacy, how the concepts taken from everyday life are transposed visual, symbolic, social and critical.
