born in 1978 in Constanta, Romania. She studied Monumental Art (Mural Art) at Applied Arts and Design Faculty, National Art University of Bucharest, Romania and hold her Ph.D in Visual Art – Unconventional in Contemporary Visual Arts at Design and Visual Arts Faculty, ”George Enescu” Arts University of Iași, Romania. The course Avram had taken through visual arts always refused the manneristic convenience, diving in the questionable universe of the laboratory curiosity and experimenting with the determination of an unlimited interrogative temper. Receptivity to new and exploratory curiosity urged me to propel myself beyond the classical or linear representations. Her artistic vision develops the experiment within the traditional, modern and extraartistic vocabulary, methods, techniques, technologies or materials in conceptual directions of recontextualization and recycling. She nonchalantly passes from figurative to abstract, from painting to photography, collage, mixed media, assemblage or installation in multimedia / intermedia contexts. Avram took part in exhibitions, symposiums, workshops, residences, private or public works both in Romania and abroad – Bulgaria, Spain, France, Wales, Germany, Turkey, Italy.
