Doina Bundaru

Artist Painter

Canada

Doina Bundaru has always been inspired by painting and the arts, being at the same time drawn to the sciences. She chose an engineering education which she completed with a master's degree and from 2014 she began to take painting and drawing lessons and has painted regularly since. She gets inspired in her paintings by daily life, a beautiful sunset, interesting shapes, old memories, nature’s beauty and she is using colors as tools to bring her emotions to canvas. Doina currently uses acrylic and mixed media, and her style has evolved from figurative to abstract over the years. The abstract allows her to better express her feelings and emotions. She enjoys experimenting, working with textures and playing with layers of paints and materials until the paint "speaks" to her. Colors, shapes and texture are very important in her artistic approach, as she uses them to explore and translate her emotions into visual expressions. She is a member of the "Artists Circle West Island", Kirkland Artists Association and Women’s Art Society Montreal. She has participated in more than 50 exhibitions: 3 solo exhibitions, group exhibitions with associations and various organizations, exhibitions at the Gallery Gora, Galerie Ambigu, Galerie Lenoir, Galerie Valmi, CAMAC. Her paintings are found in private collections in Canada and Europe.

Artist Statement

When I paint, it’s like I go on an exciting trip. The journey starts with the seed of an idea, followed by some planning, after which I let myself guided by my emotions, colors and music. It becomes more exciting as I progress into this beautiful and endless world of colors and shapes, and sometimes accidents may happen and I may arrive at a different destination, but I have fun along the way and, most of all, I enjoy the creative process. In my paintings I get inspired by daily life, beautiful sunsets, interesting shapes, nature’s beauty, and I use colors to bring my emotions to canvas.
