Her childhood memories are reflected in her entire artistic work.

”My mother’s stories, songs and drawings are the seed of my inspiration, along with the memories from the time spent with my grandparents at the country side, in Ialomita at Helis- the ancient capital of King Dromichaetes - and in the mysterious Carpathian Mountains- the most beautiful time of my life. My beloved grandparents were simple people, talented crafters and with an extraordinary spirit and understanding of Life, God and Nature. Everything I remember about them inspires me.”

Adina’s art is defined by color. She sees the world through light and color. Her paintings are vivid, colorful, energetic…

Adina’s abstract paintings are philisophical ideas, believes and feelings expressed through color on canvas. The passion for symbolism, history and philosophy, is a powerful source of inspiration.

Favorite art quotes

• Pablo Picasso: ”Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain a child when you grow up”.

“Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.”

• Diego Rivera: “I dream a lot. I do more painting when I’m not painting. It’s in the subconscious.”
• Henri Matisse: “Creativity takes courage.” “An artist must possess Nature. He must identify himself with her rhythm, by efforts that will prepare the mastery which will later enable him to express himself in his own language.”
