Andra Penescu I come from a family of art lovers, and I was "pushed" into this world when I was 10 years old. I studied for 8 years at the Art Highschool "Nicolae Tonitza" of Bucharest. I got my college degree at the Accademy of Fine Arts of Turin, Italy, in 2006. All this time I have experienced various techniques and styles, and to be honest, I like every one of them. My work in mostly figurative, but I also like to do landscape interpretations. I usually use the colours and techniques that best describe my present feelings, and for that it would be probably hard to find a large series of paintings with the same style, in a period of time. I like paintings to inspire a feeling of joy, whether it comes from the image itself, or from the coloures or technique, and I believe that a good painting is the one that makes you want to paint.
