Art, symbolism and inner work — paintings that translate the invisible journey into something you can live with.
My name is Ioana, and I am an artist with an academic background in psychology and ongoing professional training in transpersonal psychotherapy.
I studied architecture and visual arts, but life eventually led me towards psychology, driven by a desire to understand the profound inner and spiritual transformation I was experiencing myself. Art, psychology, spirituality and personal transformation were never separate paths — only different languages for exploring the same human experience.
I create art, and I guide others in exploring the depths of their own psyche, reconnecting with the parts of themselves that may have been silenced, forgotten or hidden beneath years of conditioning. Creativity is an innate human capacity, and reconnecting with it can become a path towards self-expression, meaning, pleasure and a more authentic way of living.
My work is about exploring what lies beneath the surface, fearlessly facing what might have been deemed "too much", "wrong" or "shameful" — to become the conscious creator of your own life: freer, more expressive, and perhaps a little more outrageous in your authenticity.
My work lives at the intersection of psychology, symbolism and esoteric science. I create paintings that translate the invisible aspects of our inner journey into something physical that can transform your space.
Visualization and symbolic cues influence perception, motivation and behavior. When you intentionally place symbols of a desired state in your space, you begin to prime your mind toward that reality. My paintings are visual reminders of the energy, transformation or direction you want to cultivate — portals, mirrors and maps of your becoming.
A conversation about the theme and intention you want to bring into your life.
Together we decide size, medium, aesthetic and level of symbolism. Share the intention and let me design intuitively, or co-create as much as you wish.
I paint, sometimes sharing insights that emerge — each piece is the birth of an intention into form.
Time depends on size, technique and the energetic complexity of the work. It becomes a living symbol in your space.
I also offer Tarot readings for those who feel called to explore their questions through the symbolic language of the cards.
Tarot, as an art form, can act like a bridge between the conscious and unconscious mind — so no, I will not tell you if they are thinking about you or what will happen next.
Instead, I use tarot as a tool for projective exploration. These symbols speak a visual archetypal language the unconscious understands intuitively, offering insight into what we already know at a deeper level but cannot yet articulate.
Tarot doesn't predict a fixed future — it reflects the energetic imprint of the present moment and helps build a map of potential paths shaped by our current psychological and emotional state. The future remains open, shifting as we shift.
As a therapist, I do not interpret the cards by myself. We create inner dialogue by asking: What do you see in this image? How does it feel in your body? What part of you is speaking right now?
