Artwork location: Romania
This compelling artwork features two figures positioned side-by-side against a muted, textured backdrop that evokes an industrial atmosphere. The palette is dominated by soft grays and earthy tones, lending the scene a somber and introspective mood. Both figures, rendered with a loose, expressive brushwork, wear simple white tops and shorts, their upward-facing gaze suggesting a moment of contemplation or surrender. The subtle interplay of light and shadow across their forms adds depth and emotion, highlighting the artist's deft handling of texture and tone. The composition is both minimalist and profound, inviting viewers to ponder the deeper narrative of connection or isolation between the figures amidst an austere environment. This painting stands out for its enigmatic and evocative portrayal of the human form, leaving a lasting impression of poignancy and mystery.

Presentation
Born 1989 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania
Oana Maria Pop (b. 1989) is a Romanian mixed media artist working with oil and acrylic on canvas, industrial silicone and photography. Her practice entails depictions of the neighbourhoods she grew up in and other environs that made an impression on her. The protagonist within the spaces she documents is the human form and its marks left by particular extrinsic experiences. In the past few years, Oana's work centred around the study of the representation of women in arts and society and the criticism of upholding rape myths, domestic violence and other forms of abuse against women and young girls.
She is a PhD candidate at the University of Fine Arts and Design, Cluj-Napoca, and is represented by IAGA Contemporary Art gallery.
For her BA and MA degrees, she investigated the subject of R.E.M. dreaming as a commentary for the 80s and 90s generations in contemporary Romania and on Romanian consumerism depicted through a visual metaphor of the act of eating. She was awarded an Erasmus scholarship in Italy at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia and in Berlin at Tanya Leighton Gallery.
Presently, she is undertaking an artistic residency in Berlin granted by Urban Nation Museum and Stiftung Berliner Leben, exploring media linguistics and analysing the written use of language in the press reports of domestic violence and femicide.
