Enthusiastic Ioana painting birds at Alexia Udriște's workshop

Ioana is an illustrator and graphic designer based in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

Her work draws inspiration from literature, music, and the world around her, exploring themes of nature and human experience. Ioana embraces a flexible approach to her craft, working across both traditional and digital.

For Ioana, drawing is a natural expression of her thoughts and emotions, a way to explore her inner space and sharpen her observation of the outside. Through her work, she invites viewers to step into different stories and realities, encouraging them to pause, reflect, and wonder. Passionate about exploring new areas of design, she thrives on collaborating with clients to bring unique concepts to life.

When she’s not illustrating or designing, you’ll likely find her wandering outdoors, swimming, reading, going to concerts, all while dreaming of living in Portugal.
