BIANCA-OCTAVIA POPESCU

born 1996, in bucharest romania
based in munich, germany

Growing up, I was always a curious kid, always eager to learn and understand everything around me. The difficulties I faced early in life made me more perceptive to my surroundings, which reflects a lot in my work. By observing and without formal education I’ve developed the ability to capture and reproduce on paper just about anything, especially faces and facial expressions. 
I also find solace in philosophy, human history, and the timeless beauty of classical art and literature, all of which have deeply influenced my personal aesthetic.

Wether through drawing, writing or personal development, the urges to create and inspire have always driven me. In 2020 I was introduced to tattooing, which marks the beginning of my journey as a full-time artist. After eventually graduating from business school, I dedicated myself to developing my personal brand and artistic voice — hoping to prove to myself and anyone with a similar background that, no matter the circumstances, if you truly commit yourself, you can achieve just about anything.

I’ve had the opportunity to work in various studios across Europe and am currently based in Munich as a resident artist at 13 Munich.
