Ana Lupas (born 1940 in Cluj, Romania) is a Romanian installations,
happenings and various materials, mainly
textile, works author. She graduated from the Ion Andreescu Institute of Fine Arts in Cluj-Napoca in 1962 and her conceptual approach has strongly influenced a whole generation of Romanian artists. She founded and directed the nationwide collective for young artists "Atelier 35." With a clearly avant-garde approach, she developed a multiplicity of performative and conceptual practices, some ephemeral, like direct actions taking place, mainly, within natural environments. She has always remained far from the spotlight and the world of galleries, always working in close connection with the territory, especially the villages of Transylvania and Bukovina.
