_Meet the artists
𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗔 𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗫𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗥𝗔 𝗧̦𝗜𝗚𝗔̆𝗨𝗔𝗡 :::
Maria Alexandra Țigăuan born in Cluj-Napoca, studied in the Graphics Department of the Faculty of Art and Design in Cluj-Napoca. Her artistic practice focuses primarily on printmaking, painting, and collage. Her works incorporate contemporary, urban symbols, aiming to penetrate a realistic scene transformed through a Pop Surrealist aesthetic. Saturated colors evoke the intensity of the moment, shaping landscapes where authority and daily standardization dissolve into geometric forms that reinterpret themselves in another space and another reality.

𝗕𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗡𝗭𝗔̆𝗡𝗜𝗜 :::
Ciocnadi Bogdan Alexandru aka “bolunzănii”, born in ‘81 in Cluj-Napoca, creative by nature and self-taught, currently student at UAD in the Ceramics-Glass-Metal section.
He is an independent artist, and during the summer he is a projectionist and photographer at the Cinemobilul.
The artistic activity that he carries out is quite vast and without horizons, so he is a tattoo artist, he draws, paints, creates graphic illustrations, stickers, murals, logos, graphic design, ceramics,
photography.
He created murals in Valencia during the conFusion festival, in the Benimaclet neighborhood and he is going to participate at the first edition of the Bucharest Streetart Festival.
As a style of expression, he is attracted to surrealism, but he is always open to any challenge.

𝗝𝗢𝗛𝗡𝗡𝗬 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗡𝗧 :::
Johnnybrennt is the compromise to engage with the social media of the 21th century to represent and publish what it takes us daily – our freedom.
His pictures, videos and artwork are related to his personal freedom, they are a symbol for an open playground of possibilities in this world.
Through his work, he tries to redefine borders in general understanding, making people and himself more sensitive for the perspective of 4th dimension which is not defined by any rules or property.
His work is perfectionistic and based on a fine shaped imagination and feeling of the moment “now” the only thing we can influence permanently.
Johnny knows how to accept every kind of soil and he´s happy to share his flames with everyone interested enough.
A fire cannot burn twice, why should you then?

𝗙𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗔𝗡𝗔 𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗔̆ :::
Fabiana Ginghină is a young visual artist and a master’s student in Comics and Animated Drawing in Cluj-Napoca. During her bachelor’s studies, she discovered a deep passion for comics and sequential art, a medium through which she realized she can communicate clear and engaging stories to a wide audience. In her artistic practice, she aims to create sequential art with a civic and social purpose, bringing forward authentic and relevant stories from different communities. She strongly believes that art can be a powerful tool for social change, awareness, and education. Through her work, she seeks to inspire and encourage people to reflect and take action.

𝗗𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗔 𝗕𝗔𝗥𝗕𝗨 :::
Daria Barbu is currently studying a master's in comics and animation in Cluj-Napoca, passionate about illustrating mundane scenes through a fun lens. Her work is visually characterised trough repetition, the use of reoccurring character stereotypes that usually hide some symbolism in them, and a lot of intense colors. Some of her most common themes to tackle depict corner store/ gas station imagery and close-ups of different products you can find in them.

𝗥𝗢𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗧𝗔 𝗚𝗔𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗥 :::
Roberta Gaspar is a comics and animation master’s student with a passion for capturing urban environments through both critical and contemplative lenses. Her work often focuses on dysfunctional spaces or quiet, reflective moments, blending storytelling with atmosphere. Whether working digitally or with traditional tools, she uses illustration as a way to explore and reflect on the world around her, especially the parts that don’t quite work as they should, whether in the outer world or within the self.

𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗨 𝗦𝗧𝗔̆𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗖𝗨 :::
Claudia Stăcescu is a master's student in comics and animation, interested in exploring intimist, social, and psychological themes through both introspective and critical lenses. Her illustrations and comics use visual and narrative symbols to spark conversations about the inner worlds individuals construct, and how unseen elements of daily life influence the structure of the self. Introspection is a key element of her artistic practice, allowing her to examine the correlations between social groups, spaces, memories, and identity.
