I am Adriana Groza, an independent artist originally from Transylvania, Romania, now based in Hamilton, New Jersey. My studio, located at Princeton Makes in the Princeton Shopping Center, serves as a creative sanctuary where I craft abstract, nature-inspired artworks. Using fluid acrylics, I eliminate brushes and sketches, opting instead to manipulate the paint with air, resulting in vibrant, free-flowing compositions on deep edge gallery-wrapped canvas. Each piece is a spontaneous exploration of color and form, inviting viewers to connect with nature’s beauty and rhythms, as well as with their own imagination and emotions.

My recent collection, “Floral Fusion,” challenges traditional botanical art by offering a visual journey that transcends mere representation. Through this series, I aim to evoke profound emotional responses and inspire a reconnection with the natural world. I seek to cultivate a deeper appreciation for the fleeting beauty of nature and encourage contemplation on the enduring resilience that unites all living beings.

As an immigrant artist, I find parallels between the growth of flora and my own journey of adaptation and growth in unfamiliar soil. My artistic process mirrors nature’s rhythms, reflecting the organic growth found in vines and flowers. Each painting captures a moment of controlled chaos, revealing unpredictable patterns that symbolize the serendipitous beauty of artistic expression. My workshops, which combine fluid acrylics with mindfulness, connection building, and culinary artistry, offer a non-judgmental and inclusive space for personal exploration and creative expression. I invite you to visit me in my expanded studio at Princeton Makes (in the Princeton Shopping Center) or join one of my workshops to experience the joy and beauty of fluid acrylics firsthand.
