“I create mixed media from charcoal, ink, water colors and oil to digital photography, computer art and video experiments. Each of my projects consists of multiple works grouped around specific themes and meanings. My HEROES series is characterized by a rough, violent and ironical approach displayed using only strong black and white contrasts and it is concentrated on spontaneous emotions rather than traditional conventions. I used insertions of realistic heroes inspired from the classicism, romanticism, renaissance and baroque along with added texts elements to provide clues to content and interpretation and also representing biting commentary meant to be my
own reaction against the human society’s post media condition.” Andreea- Alta Mihartescu
