Biography last updated:
-
Simina Popescu (RO) (they/she) is an author, illustrator and journalist from (and momentarily based in) Bucharest, Romania, with a degree in Graphic Communication Design from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. Simina’s debut graphic novel, Leap, a queer coming of age story set in a Romanian ballet school, is out this fall under Macmillan US. The research for this book took them into a deep exploration of the local classical and contemporary communities, as well as incited a great love for dancing herself. Whenever they’re not drawing or writing, Simina can be found sneaking in to watch rehearsals at the Bucharest National Opera or moving her creaky knees on marley floors around the world, from Batsheva’s Suzanne Dellal centre to Alvin Ailey’s in New York.
