maria postea visual artist
Professional info
I am currently studying fine arts at the University of Arts in Bucharest. I’m specializing in graphics, yet with a keen interest in painting and print-making. I am especially fond of classical and modern art, mostly the 1900-1930 period. Eager to gaining knowledge and experience, I am determined to pursue my ambition in the art world by seeking opportunities in new and diverse environments.
