Amalia Iuliana Chitulescu (born March 18, 1994), is a digital artist from Câmpina, Romania.
Raised in a small town, this self-taught artist has a technique which is delineated by the contrast between obscurity and enlightenment, using dark elements in a dreamy world. For Amalia, there is no limit to her ability to encapsulate mood and vision into a unique, well-rendered image. Her areas of expertise include the use of theatrical concepts to create a magic world that still maintains a highly recognizable attachment to reality. Bridging a diaphanous environment with light elements, an eerie view, she creates a dream world of dark beauty, done with a blend of photography, 3D elements and digital painting.
Every piece of art from her gallery is the telling of a secret, as her unique interpretations of the dream world reveal a myth, a fairy tale, and creatures from our distant past. Amalgamating extremist concepts, her unique technique renders a new, utterly unique story as only she can tell it.
Her influences spring from a childhood of intense curiosity and imagination, when she took delight in digital art at the age of fourteen. Then, she gave life to her dreams using simple traditional art as a gateway for her emotions. Besides working in the field of digital art, Amalia is a student at “Ion Mincu University of Architecture and Urbanism” in Bucharest. Her studies in the field of architecture grant her a perspective beyond many traditional artists, as she is well-versed in human, animal, and objects as subjects for her creative interpretation.
Today, as a skilled and mature artist, she is also known not only for her commercial works and book covers, but her special creations for bands, musicians, companies, writers and notable people. The list is continuously expanding as more people become aware of the quality she brings to the artistic world.
In her own words: “The art I make is the highest use of my God given abilities, and through it, the world takes on a new depth with a joy in creation that I feel nowhere else. We see the world as we wish it to be, but through art, I am able to make the world as I hope it can be. What would your ideal world look like? Through my visions, you can see a small sliver of all the wonders that I see in the world before us, and the world we can only imagine. Art is my gateway. Art is my path. As I wander, I will share each and every wonderful thing I see.”
