About me
Alina Eliza Smocov, Salonta, 1979, Romania. Lives and works in Madrid, Spain. Represented by Global Contemporary Graphic Art Gallery, Granada, Spain
Passion
There are people who asked me…Why art? And my answer is: because its my passion that makes my soul happy. Its something beautiful that gets inside me and does not leave me.
Imagination
As a curator I play with my imagination and during my lectures I take the audience with me in my imagination.
