Nina Sampaleanu
Studio D

NEW Artist & Studio Host
Encaustics & Ceramics
“Born in Romania, Nina discovered her passion for art once she moved to Canada. A graduate of the Ryerson University Photography program, Nina started her career working mainly in mixed media—using wax, wood, metal, paper, and other materials. Her aim was to showcase movement, transparency, suggestive projections, all adding up to a multitude of visual and emotional effects. Each individual element, although it has its own substance and character, becomes a whole only when surrounded by others. Together they tell a story.
Since 2022 Nina has been playing with clay, working in a ceramic studio in Toronto. Her pottery work explores themes of destruction and fragility, of strength and materiality.”
