CATALINA MILEA

Catalina Milea，born on August 4, 2000 in Bistrița, Romania, working & living in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.In 2022 she was awarded a scholarship to the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia, and in the same year she received her Bachelor’s degree at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Art and Design of Romania, where she is currently pursuing her Master’s degree in Fine Arts at the same faculty.

In the process of creating, she always start from scratch. Every piece has its veryown way of appearing and becoming. Whilst at first it may seem that the subject wouldbe in a constant change, it is actually only the form that is shapeshifting. Throughout the practice she always tried to capture in separate images the same presence, theimpossible singularity of the concrete reality. This exercise of permanent sensorialawareness, leads in time to a vision of absurdity and transmateriality, because theexcessive act of grasping the Real will only push her further away.
