Bianca Turner
Born in Alba-Iulia, Romania
Lives & works in Los Angeles, CA
Bianca Turner’s paintings are deeply inspired by nature and its vivid colors, and by the societal issues that surround her. Turner sees art as “the definition of infinity” and her work explores the continuous transmutation of the evolving essence of life and nature. Visions and words turn into colors and textures to create new narratives in this dimension of infinity .As an artist, Turner feels that it’s important to bring awareness to the world regarding different problems that affect us, as a single unit. In her art she focuses on sending out a message to the whole entire world about real problems that the regular people have and she tries to make all the people (even the ones who live in their bubble) think about what every individual’s impact in this world is. The artist feels that we all must leave a legacy behind us for the future generations and that her job is to transpose this concept from her art to everyone else. She wants to make her fans and the ones who see her work understand that Future, Hope and Success of the next generations start with every one of us. Turner always affirms that we should not say “I hope” - we should always say “I am hope” – this is the main message that is at the foundation of her art compositions.
Turner is a self-taught artist; she holds degrees in economics and biology. Her paintings hang in private and corporate international collections, and at Haegeumgang Museum in South Korea. Her work has been featured in various magazines, and art publications. She received the Woman Art Award from MUSA International Art Space in 2018 and 2020, and the Certificate of Excellence in Art from Creative Circle in Lyon, France. In January 2020 she was awarded with the Leonardo da Vinci International Prize - The Universal Artist, which she received in Florence, Italy.
Since March 2021, the artist became a creator on several NFT platforms where she is minting her digital work.
In June 2021, Turner was part of the curatorial team who organized the art exhibition of HRH Archduchess Gabriela von Habsburg, in Romania. Turner was also one of the main media sponsors, along with Forbes magazines, of this European cultural event.
At the beginning of July 2021, Turner expanded her artistic career to lecturing at international art events, the main one for her being The International Festival of Street Art which was held in Timisoara, Romania; her academic dissertation is published in numerous art universities that participated at this seminar. As of 2023, Turner will be an Associated Professor at the University of West, Visual Arts Faculty in Timisoara, Romania.
Turner works from her home studio. Her future art projects include several group exhibitions (in Los Angeles, Milan, Buenos Aires, Tokyo and Shanghai), curatorial charity events for the underprivileged children from Los Angeles who are interested in art and have artistic inclinations, a collaboration with a chocolate factory in Europe for designing the package of their limited edition collection that will be launched in 2022, and a solo exhibition at a private art club in Vienna, Austria in July, next year. Turner will also be part of the curatorial team who will organize the art exhibition of Countess Sorina von Keyserling, in Romania in June 2022.
