Nadejda Iacubina is a fashion designer and visual artist.
She graduated the Master's and Doctoral School at the University of Art and Design,
Cluj-Napoca.
She then left via scholarship to the School of Design of La Rioja and The Brera Academy of Belle Arte, Milan. Her design concepts were featured both in native country as well as internationally. She was invited to take part in well know expos such as “Dialoghi di Filo”, Palatzzo Morando, Milan and “Group Exibition”, San Carpofolo, Milan.
In Bcharest she took part in “Diploma”, the UAD gala in Cluj-Napoca as well as “Memoria Tainuită Locului” at the local Museum of Art. Additionally, she has been featured in multiple Romanian editorials such as: Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Beau Monde, Unica as well as online platforms-The Institute Magazine, Meer, Dreaming Of, People Narrative and World Press.
The topics of interest addressed in her projects are folklore and multiculturalism.
The figure of the rooster is the brand through which she chose to build social messages around current themes. The interest in multiculturalism is motivated by the multiple cultural identities that she preserves in her DNA.
Given this background, she has noticed over time that consciously or perhaps unconsciously, she refers to several archetypes, behavioral patterns taken from her Romanian, Ukrainian and Russian ancestors which, of course, influenced her artistic approach.
