Hi! I am Alice Goidea, an artist based in Bucharest, Romania and I use the alias algo7.
I am a self-taught artist I have a degree in pharmacy; however my career in this field didn’t last long and I decided to follow my creative calling. I then studied photography, make-up and graphic design while practicing painting.
I define my style as romantic and dreamy, in my art you can find a lot of meticulous patterns and decorative details.
I was raised by my grandparents in a home full of light, art and nature. I remember all the details that inspired my work, like hand made pillows decorated with crocheted flowers and silk borders, vintage tableware or clothes made with great attention to details.
I work predominantly with traditional mediums with gouache, ink, pastel charcoal, oil pastels and colored pencils and I love to experiment with different techniques and styles including digital art.
I develop my work in response to my identity, I am a spiritual person and I care about details and I am thoughtful with what I surround myself and the atmosphere it creates. I explore the idea of a pastel aesthetic and celebrate my love for nature, so patterns and botanical elements are at the center of my art.
The flowers that I paint are unique captures at their moment, they are not in bloom even for one summer and I had the opportunity to look at them and reproduce them, through my art I like to remind people to enjoy these sensitive and precious moments that will never come back, that flower, that person, that moment…”
I’m very excited to share my journey with you!
