Nicoleta Ababei, visual artist, art student, specialized in artistic collage techniques, photo manipulation, experimental posters design and painting.
Although I am a big fan of simplicity and versatility, I believe that experimentation, next to testing different approaches, styles and mediums are an essential part of the creative process. Starting from the techniques studied in painting, as well as the mixed media approaches, I try to bring to my art a unique blend of clean, sculptural forms while paying meticulous attention to composition.
I always rely on intuition and spontaneity. This is why my art presents a unique, contemporary perspective, combining poetic, graphic and organic forms in opposition to the textures, splashes of color, charcoal and paint.
My goal is to capture something intriguing that intersects and contradicts at the same time.

WORKSHOPS
- ANALOG COLLAGE WORKSHOP- POSTERS FROM THE MUSEUM ARCHIVE- We celebrate together 20 years Museum of Contemporary Art MNAC Bucharest within the premises of the Palace of Parliament with a special collage workshop. Join us for a trip through the visual history of the most important exhibitions of the Museum in the last two decades.
- Under the guidance of the artist Nicoleta Ababei, starting from cut-outs from the MNAC Bucharest poster archive, we will explore ingenious methods of assembling images, experiment with paper processing using mixed techniques of collage, stencil or street art and discover how the poster can bring contemporary art and cultural messages to the fore.
