Elecfi was born in Resita in a mountain city of the south west of Romania. Having graduated from Caragiale Academy of Theatrical Arts & Cinematography in 2011 Ioana knew that her love lied in acting although painting pushing her on a voyage of travel and discovery. Spending 6 years in Rome, Barcelona and the Baleares, Ioana drew, painted and created digital images, anything she could use to explore her thoughts. She based herself in London to create and experiment with great complexity, intriguing the mind and reflecting feelings. Her effortless ability to create depth in expressing pain and happiness triggers self-reflection into the mix and confusion of feelings.
