Riverana is a mixed media piece combining photography and acrylic paint. The inspiration came from the streets of Bucharest were graffiti, urban decay, and art are combined together into a wild, colorful and intentional spirit of joy. It’s a sort of rebellion against the gray, decayed building facades. There is so much to absorb on the streets of Bucharest, with something alive on every single wall. The character of Urbana ( sometimes called Blanca, Zamfira etc.) appeared from nowhere, and wanted to be included in my paintings and photographs. She emerged as a personification of the city landscape.
