As a decorative artist, I have always been passionate about painting on wood, and I’ve found that this medium allows me to bring my artistic vision to life in a unique and beautiful way. Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to transform a house nestled in the mountains by painting its exterior with traditional Romanian motifs. These designs are deeply rooted in the rich cultural heritage of my country, specifically from the Oltenia region, which is part of the larger Valahia area in southern Romania.
The entire house is now adorned with these traditional elements, capturing the spirit of Oltenia’s folk art and customs. The intricate patterns and vibrant colors evoke the beauty and history of this part of Romania, and I feel so proud to have been able to share that heritage through my work. It was truly a labor of love, and the experience of bringing this transformation to life was made even more special by the involvement of my daughter.
My daughter, an art student studying to become an art restorer, joined me in this project, and together, we poured our hearts into each stroke of paint. Her eye for detail and passion for art restoration brought an added depth to our work, and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in this creative endeavor.
I hope our work resonates with you as much as it did with us. This project was more than just a transformation of a house—it was a celebration of our cultural roots, a mother-daughter collaboration, and a testament to the power of art in preserving and honoring tradition.
