About Adina Banea : Charismatic, sensible, and creative, you will always find Adina painting the sky through love because she does believe in love, a feeling she extroverts by not counting her footprints. "Convicted to life," she thinks this is the most beautiful way to draw her portrait and to define her art. She embraces and adapts to every challenge life gives her. She converts it into real feelings, starting from melancholy to euphoria, from sexuality to innocence, and she'd like to describe it by "pure art." Even if Adina always felt the need to express her creativity in writing and drawing, the fear of falling short and disappointing herself and the others limited her, so she put her visions in a box, and she started working as a lawyer in a bank. She continued the pattern, and her second job was in the Interior Ministry at the International Relationships Department. Her strong beliefs in femininity and feminism and her family values determined her to create a new TV Show format and present it on national television. The show was named Bebe.Ro and was about the unique quality of a woman- being a mother. This way, Adina realized she was being heard, so it made her build her online community, through her blog, which became one of the most read in Romania, being in Top Ten Influencers Relationships Category, for four years already. As she was trying to define herself, she always put together the three words she likes the most: energetic, passion, and love. With these attributes, it was born Reprobable Clothing Brand, maybe her most playful project. About clothes and how important is what we wear, Adina Banea uses to say that: "If you want people to listen to you, there's an important lesson here: Dress the message. Always. The clothes we wear and the way we groom ourselves will change the way other people hear what you say. It will subconsciously tell them if you're like them or if you're different. It will determine whether they listen or ignore. Trust or distrust.This is my stronger belief."
STATEMENT OF ART:
“Life beats down and crushes the soul, and art reminds you that you have one," Stella Adler. Where the line of normalcy is shaped differently in the eyes of artists, as everything is relative, there exists the freedom that only artists can create - the space, color, and texture on which that line of normalcy lies, to make it one at all. Design is something that is a part of our everyday life. In our homes, in our towns, and even in our wardrobes, every aspect has come from a design. I believe that you have to be creative, self-motivated, and hard-working when studying the different areas of art and design.
Otherwise, as a Psychology student, I learned that the perception of stress is relative - maybe because of that where I find my stressful reality, it is much of the escape that I share with many others to spend time doing fashion, style or, my latest guilty pleasure as a professional hobby, interior design: I love to create homes, starting with the smell, finishing with the smart technology.
Art remains as a strong contender of how we share our thoughts and ideas. I have no grand illusions that art will create a revolution in the traditional sense, but have witnessed the powerful changes it can make in an individual. Just one new idea can change a person’s perception. The world may not change in an instant by art, but it’s slow and insipid spread into the active part of our brains lives to tell the tale. It may leave the studio and make it’s way around the world, and yet come back to the studio where anything can happen.Process, progress and self-improvement: these are my fundamental principles of art and design.To be able to fully dedicate to what I love, to what makes me feel complete, with perseverance and hard-work, and of course, with a daily improvement. This is, and will always be my place.
