Andreea Medar (b. 1990 Târgu Jiu ) is a Romanian artist exclusively represented by Mind Set Art Center Taipei. Her practice includes objects and environments, sculptures, media installations and video. Since 2017 she also works in collaborative projects with Mălina Ionescu, an artist, curator and art critic in Romania. Her images rewrite her own personal imagery in associations of contrasting elements, in projects in which she investigates themes such as the family history, the rural community, ritual, change, dissolution and persistence. She received The Grand Prize at the Young Romanian Artists in Contemporary Creation 2021 contest. Her works are in the permanent collection of the The National Contemporary Art Museum of Romania (MNAC), Bucharest and The Art Museum of Timisoara.
