Arina Gheorghita was born in 1973 in the Romanian city of Cluj-Napoca, in Transylvania. Apparently, heredity played a role: Arina's father was an artist, and his daughter followed in his footsteps. In 1991, she graduated from the High School of Fine Arts, and in 1997, from the Ion Andreescu Academy of Arts. Arina then worked as a book illustrator for a publishing house in her hometown. Later, she became a painting and art history teacher. Today, she lives in Bucharest.
At the end of 2008, Arina completed a series of illustrations for her favorite novel, The Master and Margarita. The works are interesting, although sometimes you have to rack your brain to figure out exactly which scene is depicted in them.
Many thanks to Arina's friend Alexander aka Unmodern Person, who published these works in good quality and suggested the titles for some of them.
