My name is Georgiana Tarlungeanu, and I'm an architect passionate about sketching on the spot, from reality - buildings, architecture design, landscapes, and symbolic elements of our world. Since I started this drawing adventure seven years ago, I have continuously made around 500 sketches during world travel trips, capturing and representing amazing places and unusual buildings along the way all around Europe.
At some point 2 years ago, I got bored with keeping the real aspect of the place with its specific measurements and proportions. A drawing idea popped into my head to start distorting and bending the reality. I wanted to challenge the viewer’s mind with various types of perspectives in unique artworks while keeping a lot of realistic details. It makes you reanalyze what you see from a different angle and question the reality you live in.
You can check out my works on the pages below, some of them more conventional than the ones that you're about to see. And if you like these black and white drawings, you can buy art prints on my Etsy page. Enjoy the gallery!

As I felt surrounded by vegetation from all sides, I had to make it the glue which keeps together the entire composition! The wooden church from Cluj county and these beautiful homesteads with workshops for pottery and processing amber are from 4 different counties of Romania.

I just loved the two faces of Poros island, Greece- one for the tourist's eye, full of bars and restaurants, and one for the locals where I found this fishing village with each boat looking unique.

It was a real challenge to capture the famous Transfăgărășan road, the Bâlea lake and the valley with the mountains, but I think the final result is pretty convincing! I had to finish it later because of the returning schedule of the cable car.
