Alina Teodorescu is a Lisbon-based Visual Artist. Her concerns are mainly social.
She questions the mundane placidity of day to day life in most creative and therefore galvanic forms of art stimulating subtle political inquiry.
Born in a mountain town in Romania she has studied at renowned institutions in London, Milan and Bucharest. After a successful career in interior architecture and a life of traveling, she decided to dedicate herself to nature through art and dialog. In her work, Alina travels between the analog, the digital, the theoretical and the transcendental to explore new ways of existing on earth.
“Being it both sacred and profane - sometimes ominous and numinous - art always initiates an unending pilgrimage for me”, she says.
With almost supernatural energy and in svelte approach, she works to bring awareness, apprehension and responsiveness into the world, where living is challenged by rapidly disappearing nature, climate crisis and diminishing dialogues between humans and between nature and human. While the destination always remains the same, the medium is flexible and limber. That includes events, installations, interiors, paintings, text, conversations, conferences and advocacy.
Her art materials can be anything from soil, wood, and fabric, to digital screens, social projects and music events.
NATURE IS SOCIAL
COLLABORATION- is Alina’s major raison d’être: whereas between people, ideas, concepts, discussion and artworks - but into her work it’s all coming together, for a responsible living and future.
