Georgiana Chitac was born in Constanta, but now she lives and creates in Bucharest, where she has a small workshop.
Although she studied art for 10 years, she ended her studies with an economics diploma.
In 2009 she returned to art, becoming an illustrator. In 2019 she laid the foundations for a small business with illustrated products, where the main subject is anthropomorphic animals – ANIMINI (animini.ro).
Since 2022 she has been the curator of a small art gallery in Bucharest, dedicated to illustration and ceramics – White Flat Gallery (whiteflatgallery.com).
Over the years she has illustrated numerous children’s books. Georgiana is also an author of children’s books, so far publishing 3 books as a writer.
The illustration for the children’s books is not the only genre she practices. She also likes commercial, editorial, or fine art illustration.
Her best-known personal project is “Les Dames de Bucharest”, which was highly appreciated by both the general public and the specialists in the artistic field. The most important exhibition dedicated to this project took place at the Constanta Art Museum, in 2023. The project can be seen in full on the dedicated site – lesdamesdebucarest.ro
