Artist Biography

Ruxandra Cristina Bocin-Dumitriu was born in Bucharest, Romania and was always fascinated by two, otherwise distinct, areas: art and technology. Studying both meant that the artist got in very close contact with both hard programming (C++, Java, artificial intelligence) and pure graphic art studies. This unusual combination led to an ease of expression through technology as well a special take on visual metaphors.
