Through my current textile paintings series entitled `Fragments of a forest` I look at my childhood forest as a sacred place where memory and imagination could co-exist.

Oana Tudose (b. 1987, Romania) is a visual artist and designer based in Denmark. Her work is grounded in sustained material engagement with textile traditions shaped by repair, reuse, and scarcity. Drawing from Eastern European cultural contexts, intergenerational knowledge, and personal memory, she examines care, vulnerability, and repair as forms of ethical labor developed through endurance, maintenance, and responsibility.
Working across installation, textile processes, drawing, and spatial interventions, Tudose explores how fragile knowledge is preserved and transmitted under conditions of instability and loss. In response to contemporary geopolitical and ecological uncertainty, her practice positions attentiveness, presence, and maintenance as necessary artistic commitments.
Her work has been exhibited internationally in Denmark, Romania, and the Netherlands, including solo exhibitions in Copenhagen, Bucharest, and Oradea. Her works are held in the Museum of Oradea collection and in private collections across Europe.
