Georgiana Luiza Nicolae

“I use art as a therapeutic way to channel my emotions. The canvas becomes my sanctuary, a blank slate on which I pour my deepest anxieties, fears, and frustrations. Through the act of creation, I become the architect of my own universe. Art allows me to break free from the shackles of my own thoughts. Paint helps me pour my deepest emotions, anger, and sadness onto the canvas, turning them into something positive. In the process, I begin to untangle a tangled web of emotions, gaining a newfound sense of clarity and understanding”.

 UK-based artist, draws inspiration from her surroundings. Her primary medium is oil, but she’s versatile, often working with watercolours, inks, pastels (soft and oil), and occasionally acrylics. She’s committed to daily artistic practice, continually learning with each brushstroke.

Her artwork is diverse, fuelled by curiosity and experimentation. Her primary love is expressionist, semi-abstract figurative art, which is evident in most of her creations. She is drawn to unique shapes, unusual subjects, odd angles, and captivating perspectives.

Her preferred techniques include forceful expressive brushstrokes, bold palette knife applications (impasto), and painterly marks. Using a limited colour palette that grabs the viewer’s attention. She finds beauty in the unconventional, often exploring gloomy, haunting, and unsettling melancholy scenes.

While she’s mostly self-taught, her artist friends have played a role in her artistic journey. Georgiana’s formal education is in psychology, holding a master’s degree in Forensic Psychology. Her work often reflects psychological themes due to her background in mental health.

Her favourite paintings are a mix of reality and magic, featuring strange characters, an eerie atmosphere, and surrealism. She’s most fulfilled when she captures uncertainty, doubt, and mystery with simple compositions and a single focal point. For Georgiana, art becomes a medium to express that which words cannot convey.
