Patricia Chiuariu is a Romanian born artist based in Melbourne.
Patricia is constantly torn between perfection and imperfection, a tension that makes the process of creating art both satisfying and challenging.
Perfection is appealing because it embodies quality craftsmanship, years of experience, precision, and thoughtful design.
Imperfection, on the other hand, reflects nature and the human element—shaky hands, tired eyes, imperfect tools, and the wear and tear of time. It tells stories and connects people through the flaws and natural aging.
The combination of both perfection and imperfection results in something uniquely beautiful.
