VALI IRINA CIOBANU
Vali Irina Ciobanu was born in Valea Popii, Calarasi in 1976 and is a graduate in History of Culture and Religions from the Department of Philosophy of Bucharest.
Vali creates a concept of modernity as an opposite of abstraction, based on some recuperated easel practices of ancient age, some even in the Renaissance and having the spiritual support of a cultured audience.
“She creates her paintings using a very old technique, inspired by that of Leonardo da Vinci. She paints on leather with water colors, binders and hairspray which are specific art objects in themselves.” – Tudor Octavian
