Miruna Cojanu, born in 1980 in Bucharest, Romania, is a contemporary painter specializing in oil on canvas. Residing and working in Bucharest, her art uniquely reinterprets vintage carpet models, seamlessly blending tradition with contemporary aesthetics. Best known for her large-scale female portraiture, Cojanu's meticulous paintings feature figures on vibrant, graphic backgrounds, incorporating reinterpretations of vintage carpet symbols and motifs.
Her latest exhibition at Kulterra Gallery in Bucharest, held in June 2023 and titled "Between yesterday and tomorrow is LOVE. NOW I feel it" represents a significant artistic endeavor. This showcase exemplifies Cojanu's distinctive visual language characterized by excessive optimism and joyful presence. Vibrant colors, pop graphic patterns, and unexpected convergences with folk and arts & crafts elements convey themes of trust, tranquility, and a celebration of the present. "LOVE. NOW I" reflects Cojanu's artistic and personal journey, exploring symbolism and emotion while maintaining an optimistic narrative.
Beyond her local workspace, notable exhibitions include her solo show "Between Yesterday and Tomorrow is LOVE. NOW I feel it." at Kulterra Gallery, Bucharest, in June 2023, and the group exhibition "Bucarest Inspiration Bleus de Nice" at Musse Massena, Nice, France, in May 2023. Her participation in the MOBU International Art Fair in Bucharest in May 2023 further underscores her presence. Past exhibitions, such as "Nudes" at Vino Wines and More Exhibition Space, Bucharest, in 2019, and "Open Studio" at Caderea Bastiliei, Bucharest, in 2018, showcase Cojanu's commitment to pushing artistic boundaries and to her ability to transform personal experiences into a shared narrative of optimism and beauty.
