Doina Moss
Doina’s background is architecture by profession but the representation through drawing and painting was explored and studied from a very early age, manipulating the artistic language directly within her architectural presentations.
Inspired by her new location around Hampton Court, London, surrounded by powerfully inspiring settings, she resumed experimenting with her oil painting studies from 2016. By taking further Master Classes, exploring the landscape en plein air in her local area by the river Thames, Richmond and Bushy Parks or during her various travels abroad, depicting the defining sense of a place, exploring figurative art and portraiture in her neo-impressionist style, veering into abstract, introducing elements from classical composition in her landscapes to create focus, painting is a continuous process of invention and mastery.
Her current collection was produced during the Lockdowns triggered by the pandemic, with focus on the nature taking over centre stage and a connecting element, cataloguing the seasons, with emphasis on optimism while combating loneliness.
Doina explores capturing and encapsulating the transience of a moment, in sumptuous brush strokes, using oil colours. The artworks emanate a sense of Now, in the Present, while playing on memory with the feel of the Old Masters decanted through the layering of time, capturing the essence of the moment. She is portraying the illusion of movement through time and space, extracting the sublime.
Doina's preoccupation is to produce anti-anxiety artworks, a few touches of magic dispersed through balance and harmony in the composition, experimenting with new techniques.
Launching her art career at the Salon Des Refuses in 2017, Doina continues to exhibit in museums and international exhibitions. Her artworks are in prominent private art collections and museums in Bucharest, London, Paris, New York, Zurich.

“I have chosen my framing workshop carefully as I was looking for somebody with a strong connection with art. Leigh helped me achieve the style I was searching for, to complement and frame my paintings as a direct continuation of each paintings. The neutral profiles were painted with colours from the painting, each frame establishing the identity of the respective painting. The result is a collection with a homogeneous style while retaining the individual identity. We are experimenting with new and challenging designs, working on prototypes which Leigh is not scared of tackling. I am delighted with the results and we are consolidating our collaboration with every new project we are tackling.”
