About Corina

Artist Statement:

I’m Corina Ioana, an artist driven by a passion for originality and visual storytelling.

As an artist, I embrace the power of color, texture, and form to tell stories that transcend the ordinary and create an ethereal, dreamlike atmosphere.

My art is an emotional release—a process of personal healing and transformation. Using bold colors, dynamic textures, and intricate forms, I channel my experiences, turning emotions—whether joy or pain—into creative expression. Art, for me, is both a personal journey and a tool for collective healing.

My collections, such as Femme Fatale and Nature Infused, reflect the interplay between nature, humanity, and emotional release. Whether I’m capturing raw energy or quiet introspection, each piece is a visual representation of resilience and the connection between the inner self and the world around us.

Through my art, I hope to inspire others and remind them that transformation is always possible. Art has the power to heal, to bring joy, and to offer inspiration in unexpected ways.
