Interview with Raluca Harabagiu

International Curated Stories

For her International Curated Stories series, journalist Raluca Harabagiu spoke with Elleny Gherghe about a childhood spent drawing in Comănești, the move to the Andalusian coast, and the birds, flowers and women that recur throughout her paintings.

The conversation follows the artist through her studio practice — the meditative state in which a canvas takes shape, the freedom she gives each work to evolve away from its first sketch, and the quiet discipline that sustains a life devoted to painting.
