Camelia Dröge

Born in Romania, I am a devoted mother of two daughters, deeply rooted in the rich tapestry of Romanian traditions and folklore, which continue to inspire my creative journey. After relocating to Norway twelve years ago, I immersed myself in its stunning landscapes and cultural heritage, further fueling my artistic evolution by exploring Norwegian folklore. Since 2022, I have called Vienna home, where I have fallen in love with the city's vibrant culture. I feel truly blessed to have access to its world-class museums, events, and art exhibitions, which continually enrich my practice. My creative path began over 10 years ago with cross-stitching, a craft that laid the foundation for my work. Through a long and transformative journey, I discovered my true passion: mixed media art. My signature style—embroideries layered onto paintings—uniquely reflects my personality, blending intricate textile techniques with bold, expressive visuals to create deeply personal and evocative pieces.
