BUCHAREST, ROMANIA – Oana Livia, 26, is a mixed media artist. Livia, from Focsani, a city in eastern Romania, says she prefers to combine traditional and digital techniques to create her artwork.

To make her art, Livia first draws on paper, then retouches the pieces digitally. She says digital technology has improved her work.

“Working with programs such as Photoshop helps me escape the dictatorship of the tiny, wrongly drawn line,” she says.
