About Art by Octy

I am Octavia Costan, a passionate painter from Oradea. My work is a reflection of the world around me, seen through the lens of emotion, color, and movement. I draw inspiration from the beauty in the ordinary, the quiet moments of life, and the complexities of the human spirit. Each piece I create is an exploration of identity, connection, and the stories we carry within. My art invites viewers to pause, reflect, and experience the layers of feeling and meaning that lie beneath the surface. For me, painting is not just an expression—it’s a way of understanding and connecting with the world in its most profound, authentic forms.

My creative journey is rooted in a rich family legacy—my father, a painter and sculptor, has been a significant influence on me. His artistic vision and craftsmanship have shaped my own, and I consider my talents a continuation of his legacy. Through my work, I aim to express the complexities of life, blending emotion with technique, and honoring the artistic traditions passed down through generations.
