Alina Durdan

I invite you to enter an art universe, to explore different styles, techniques, and artistic themes. From abstract art to realism, from collages to unique textile prints, all my works present an original vision. My inspiration sources are many and varied: from the surrounding nature (floral and vegetal motifs), architecture elements, decorative motifs of Romanian folklore, to elements from other cultures, abstract geometric compositions to realistic studies from nature.

 

 

 

"I was born in Botosani, Romania, on 14 October 1980. I finished the Art High school “Stefan Luchian” from Botosani, Romania – Graphics section, in 1999. I enrolled on the classes at the Institute of Fine and Visual Arts - Faculty of Decorative Arts and Design in Oradea, Romania. There I was specialized in upholstery, textile printing and clothing design. I graduated in 2004. In 2006 I obtained the master’s degree for Textile Arts – Prints specialization at the "Nicolae Grigorescu" Academy of Fine Arts - Faculty of Decorative Arts and Design from Bucharest, Romania. I am a member of the Union of Visual Artists in Romania since 2005.

I have created art pieces for well-known fashion designers in Romania for more than 15 years, and I can paint in many styles and techniques such as acrylic, tempera, ink, oil, mixed media, palette knives, iconography, etc. I am also teaching art classes since 2010.
