I’ve discovered the Romanian illustrator Teodora Slavu on Instagram, known there as Dora Ilustradora. The artist lives in Cluj-Napoca and currently works as a graphic designer. Teodora claims she started to draw since she was a child, and only at the age of 12 she started to paint and photograph.

Inspired by everything surrounding her, she said ‘I can dream my next illustration, or I can simply start an idea from out of nowhere.’
Much of what Teodora depicts will make you laugh and think ‘damn, that’s true’. Drawn in a contemporary-inspired style, her illustrations feature daily struggles, lodging complaints, and pretty much proving that our life revolves around apps or social media.

Still can't tell exactly my origins because of my suspiciously ‘Chinese eyes’.
