Iulia Mirică (b. 2000, Bucharest) is a visual artist and graphic designer who explores the intersection between art and design through her works. Passionate about book design and visual storytelling, her artistic activity focuses on introspective and contemplative themes, inviting reconnection with the inner emotional universe in the context of contemporary accelerated pace. Since 2025, she has been a member of the Union of Visual Artists of Romania.
A graduate of the National University of Arts Bucharest, where she completed the Graphics Department in 2022 and continued with a master’s degree in the same field until 2024, Iulia has developed an analytical and meticulous approach to the creative process. Her dissertation project “echoes” (2024) – a series of three books created through digital printing with manual binding in fascicles – was presented during the Diploma Show and reflects both the artist’s interest in narratives that remain unspoken and her passion for editorial design and the book object as an artistic medium.
Since 2022, Iulia has worked as a Graphic Designer at PRO TV, where she creates static graphics and animation elements for news programs and shows. This experience in the media environment has allowed her to refine her technical skills and gain a deeper understanding of the visual impact on communication.
Alongside her professional activity, Iulia has been a member of the organizing team of Bucharest Graphic Days since 2023, contributing to the promotion of contemporary graphic art in Romania. She has participated in several group exhibitions, including “Contemporary Drawing in Romania” at Scemtovici&Benowitz Gallery (2024), “Absorbed Time” at Elite Art Gallery (2025), and “Unsaved Stories” at Galeria Laborna (2024).
Her works have been recognized at Romanian Design Week, where the illustration “The Story of a Grain of Rice” was selected in the good practices category in 2022, and the dissertation project “echoes” was presented in 2024. She has also collaborated with the Armenian Cultural Center on several projects in 2025, including the catalog design for the exhibition “Revolutionary – Armenian Women Who Changed the World,” book design, and exhibition design, demonstrating her active involvement in Bucharest’s cultural scene.
Iulia continuously develops her practice by participating in specialized workshops, from linocut and typographic design to prompt engineering for artificial intelligence, showing constant openness to new media and technologies. Her artistic work is characterized by meticulous research and visual experimentation, a process she describes as a “ritual of discovery” through which ideas gain an individual voice.
