Irina Vladau is a multidisciplinary artist based in Milan, Italy, with the main field in abstract painting. Born in 1975 in Cluj-Napoca, a Transylvanian city from Romania, where she grew up and studied, Irina's artistic interest began at a very early age being encouraged by her grandfather who was a painter. As a child she studied in the art school of the city, followed then by a degree in textile design at the University of Art and Design from Cluj-Napoca.

 

After years of working for various companies, traveling and raising a family, Irina felt a longing to return to her old passion the painting, and in 2019 she pursues her career as a full time painter.

 

Her art is inspired mostly by nature, music and mood, dreams and reality, all are fusing into one emotion. Irina likes experimenting with different painting techniques finding in abstract painting more ways to expressing the imaginary space. The artist constantly plays with textures and colors, transforming and mixing them, in order to give a new shape, in a new abstract expressionism concept.

 

Irina's artworks stand at the intersection of a different perceptions of reality and express the multitude of possible answers, giving to the viewer the freedom of visual interpretation.
