Artist Bio

Oana Denisa Spatariu is a Romanian-Canadian artist. Born and raised in the west side of Romania, Spatariu was enrolled in an art school from the age of 12 until the age of 14, until her family moved to Moncton, New Brunswick in 2018. Graduating from Moncton High School in 2021, Spatariu continued her studies at NSCAD the same year, following her everlasting passion for art. There she found an amazing community with a wonderful support system. During her time at NSCAD, Spatariu discovered her enthusiasm for landscape and figure art in both drawing and oil painting, both practices becoming her main focus. In her work, she discusses themes such as time, memory and her personal experience immigrating from one continent to another. With a Bachelor in Fine Arts and a minor in drawing, Spatariu hopes to continue painting about her life, reflecting on her culture and creating opportunities for viewers to live her life through their own eyes.
