Enchanting Art Of Nineteen-Year-Old Andreea Farkas

Hello Andreea! I would like to ask you some questions about your life as an artist, but please introduce yourself first.

Hi! My name is Andreea Farkas, I am 19 years old and I have just finished The Vocational Art High School in Targu Mures, where I have studied art with fashion and textile design. I am going to be a student at the Faculty of Art and Design in Cluj-Napoca, with a specialization in painting.

This is great! But why have you chosen it?

Well, I have decided to study painting because it’s an art form that has appealed to me since my childhood. I had almost decided to take the admissions examinations for fashion design but in the end, my interest in painting made me change my mind.

How do you define your style?

My style is eclectic. I love to paint women and portraits, and most of the time I prefer tinted greys instead of strong colors. I am fascinated by the idea of excitement, and by femininity rendered in the most graceful, novel and beautiful manner.

Well, I think you have just found a new client! Which is your most innovative or unique art piece or which was the biggest challenge you have ever accepted?

There was once a contest where I was supposed to make a drawing for the Royal House of Bran Castle. The theme was “The Orphan”, inspired by the children’s book with the same title, written by Queen Mary of Romania. I really wanted to win, and I did. I really worked with my soul, with emotion, and pleasure at the same time.

What do you think about the prospects that young artists have today in Romania or in other countries?

In the last few years, for example Romania did really manage to increase the number of opportunities for young artists. The world is finally accepting art again: people are understanding it and are even admiring and appreciating students from the art colleges. Even so, I still believe that there are more options for young artists in other countries, where art can be a real job, not just a hobby as in Romania.

One last question, Andreea: tell me please where you see yourself in 20 years and how you think the world of art will evolve in the future?

For the moment, I am trying to avoid making future plans because you know, things change and so do we. I prefer to let things happen spontaneously, while always keeping in mind my convictions and a balance between body, mind, and soul.
