Overview

Ioana Iacob (b. 1987) is a visual artist whose work explores intimacy, isolation, and digital alienation themes. Her paintings, often capturing quiet, unguarded moments, invite viewers into a voyeuristic experience, revealing the solitude and vulnerability of contemporary life. Balancing sharp observation with a pursuit of beauty, her work reflects the tension between connection and detachment in a rapidly changing world.

Iacob holds a PhD in Visual Arts from the University of Art and Design Cluj-Napoca (2019) and has pursued studies in Belgium, Germany, France, and Italy. Her work has been exhibited internationally, with solo exhibitions at Matca Art Space (Cluj), Laika Art Space (Bucharest), and Mie Lefever Gallery (Belgium). She has also participated in group exhibitions at prominent galleries and institutions, including Galerie Martin Kudlek (Cologne), David Kovats Gallery (London), Funnel Contemporary (Belgrade), Heerz Tooya (Veliko Tarnovo), Patrick Heide Contemporary Art (London), LARM Galleri (Copenhagen), and Plan B (Cluj/Berlin), among others.
