Roxana Albu

I am a Romanian artist soul, born near the Carpathian Mountains, in a place called Piatra-Neamţ. In 2006, life brought me to France, and I finally settled in Utrecht in 2021. Painting has always been a powerful way for me to express myself. And it was a revelation when I discovered oil painting in 2008. 

Since then, I have tried to explore the essence of who I am through painting: https://www.alburoxana.com/indarknesslieslight Back in January 2022, I still remember this moment when I felt a voice inside me saying : ''Now, you need to do something for the society!” I didn't know what and how, but I strongly felt it's about my paintings and the homeless people, and it was a very precise idea: paint their story, sell the paintings and give them the money! 

After 4 years, I am deeply grateful for the small moments of joy shared with the heroes I painted, because they have taught me to truly SEE the person, to be humble and respectful despite appearances.
