I’m Oana Popescu aka girlfringe — artist & illustrator living and working in Bucharest.

I’m very passionate about creating illustrations, fanzines and fun comics surrounding themes like girlhood, day to day feelings and relatable youthful experiences. I’m also very sentimental about my teenagehood and I enjoy creating art which captures the nostalgic moments and intense emotions from that era — sun-drenched memories of sleepovers, secret crushes, diaries, movie nights, girly accessories, nostalgic games, fave music albums and overly decorated bedrooms.

Contrasted with my love for the gritty 80s-90s-2000s aesthetics of pop culture, blogs, punk female bands, cartoons & comics, my works are characterized by storytelling, movie-like scenes, detailed compositions and fun patterns. I can describe the characters in my art as unapologetically emotional, sometimes cool sometimes awkward, angsty and rebellious xx
