Artist bio:

Oana Tudose (b. 1987, Romania) is a visual artist and designer based in Denmark. Her work is grounded

in sustained material engagement with textile traditions shaped by repair, reuse, and scarcity. Drawing from

Eastern European cultural contexts, intergenerational knowledge, and personal memory, she examines

care, vulnerability, and repair as forms of ethical labor developed through endurance, maintenance, and

responsibility.

Working across installation, textile processes, drawing, and spatial interventions, Tudose explores how

fragile knowledge is preserved and transmitted under conditions of instability and loss. In response to

contemporary geopolitical and ecological uncertainty, her practice positions attentiveness, presence, and

maintenance as necessary artistic commitments rather than symbolic gestures.

Her work has been presented internationally in Denmark, Romania, and the Netherlands, including solo

exhibitions at MNTRplusC, Bucharest; Museum of Oradea; and exhibitions in Copenhagen. Her work is

held in the Museum of Oradea collection and in private collections across Europe.
