Delia-Viviana Mălinaș is a Romanian painter and multidisciplinary artist whose practice is grounded in material sensitivity and ecological awareness. Her work investigates the tension between natural systems and human-built environments, using reclaimed textiles, and analog photography to construct visual dialogues between fragility and structure, presence and erosion.
She is known for her ability to transform overlooked materials—discarded fabrics, found objects, dried flowers—into layered compositions that resist disposability and assert memory as a form of resistance. Each piece becomes a negotiation between control and spontaneity, silence and saturation.
Photography operates as an extension of her studio research. Shooting on 35mm film, she documents the textures, plant life, and architectural tensions found in transitional environments. These images are not presented as separate works, but as part of an ongoing visual archive that feeds her painting and textile compositions.
