Iulia Bucuresteanu is a Romanian-born (2001) artist based in The Netherlands. Her artistic practice consists of sculpture, photography and printmaking. the subjects she approaches center around the home and the household.
"The way I experienced growing up and my migration from Romania have contributed to my ambivalent relationship with home and family. Therefore, I explore the domestic realm by looking at the objects within it which describe one's identity. I document my daily domesticity by manipulating and losing control over the representation of the scenes and objects that I interact with. I use techniques that allow me to do so including metal casting, silkscreening, and analog photography as means to illustrate selective memory and decay. The resulting objects often come out misshapen, or glitched looking overused and disintegrated. I often integrate my prints with sculptures to merge the past and the present of my households."
Her work aims to explore the complexity of the household and the role of women within it. By combining photography and sculpture, she creates a body of work that contemplates the relationship between domestic labor, identity, and family in an attempt to define the dynamics of the household and its hostility.
Iulia lives and works in The Hague, the Nehterlands
