Art in Conversation
with Mariana Frum
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Mariana Frum, a painter from Transylvania, a graduate of technical studies, who, in recent years, has worked as a secretary, began her artistic career with clothing creations inspired by the village life that the artist lived with her grandparents.
Later, her visions were translated into canvases and from there it was only a step until painting made its place daily in her activities.
For Mariana, art and the artistic act represent a dressing of the soul.

Artist Statement
I was born in Sibiu, the wonderful city in the heart of the country. My childhood in the country made me a sensitive child due to the interaction with nature, which I was fascinated by. I think I was 4 years old, when I was modeling the clay found at the foot of a hill near my grandparents' house. Then I rediscovered it when I was older, together with jewelry crafting, and yes, PAINTING, which marked my life for good. Possessing of some native qualities, which I also cultivated through spiritual technique courses, I allowed myself to give the paintings an energetic load, beneficial to serve the vibrational lifting of the rooms.
