Biography
Miruna Ciocanescu was born in 2001 in Bucharest, Romania, but grew up in Turnu-Magurele. Currently, she lives in Bucharest. Her paintings are focused on constant unlearning through experimentation. She summons a childlike approach in her practice, making aesthetic choices intuitively at the border of deliberate vision or feeling and the need for total involvement led by an emotional response. Her artwork often includes images and ideas that intersect, developing intrusive symbols such as home by repealing layers of deceit around the painting. Her medium of choice is oil paint, but she also explores watercolor, acrylics, and mixed media when the involvement of painting feels insufficient
