Cultural affinities by WIN Gallery – Raluca Moldoveanu

Raluca Moldoveanu is one of the voices building her artistic path with a constant openness toward new forms of expression. Known to the public through her concerts and her presence in various television projects, the artist is currently going through an intense period, marked by numerous stage appearances and the exploration of new creative directions, including through the study of theatre. Within the “WIN Gallery Affinities” section, we invited her to speak about this moment in her career, about her relationship with the public, and about the experience of collaborating with WIN Gallery, a context in which music naturally meets the space of visual art.

WIN Gallery: The public knows you from numerous stage appearances and from musical projects that have gradually built your artistic identity. Looking back, what were the moments that mattered most in your formation as an artist?

Raluca Moldoveanu: In my formation as an artist, there were numerous key moments that contributed to my evolution. Many of them consisted of my television appearances, such as my participation in Next Star, X Factor, Provocarea Starurilor, Superstar România, and Vocea României. Each of them represented an important stage, the first being at the age of 13. That contributed greatly to getting used to the stage, visibility, image, the configuration and shaping of a personality or an artist’s character, and to deepening my vocal skills. There are, however, certain representative and defining moments that people do not know, because they are part of the personal sphere, which was not exposed publicly. Not many people know this, but my vocal ability evolved rapidly after the age of 22, when I started singing intensely at karaoke. I rediscovered myself and truly understood what music means and what it means to sing out of passion, without a certain pressure within a competition. I was warmly welcomed in a karaoke venue to practice and to release through this talent feelings, sensations, states, thus exploring my vocal range much more deeply, so that a greater vocal volume capacity could develop, a better-controlled register, stronger high notes, and a personal charisma.

WIN Gallery: During this period, you are involved in several shoots for various TV shows, in parallel with your concert schedule. How does the relationship with the public change when you move from the live stage to the space of television?

Raluca Moldoveanu: At this moment, I decided to participate and to accept every challenge that is new to me. The year 2026 started promisingly, with rewarding events. I enrolled in theatre courses, which correlate very well with music, an optional activity that I wanted to do out of the desire to experience art through several spectrums. At the same time, with these courses, I also signed up for the casting for Lecții de viață, where I was contacted and I will play a role for the first time in an episode that will be broadcast on PRO TV. Shortly after, I was invited to participate in Chefi la cuțite and, without hesitating, I accepted. The fact that it is something completely different from what I know how to do was the main reason why I wanted to compete. At the same time, the desire to be on television again pushed me even more. I want the public to see that I am not just a vocal performer, but also a complex character, one who offers fun and entertainment.

WIN Gallery: What attracted you to this direction of theatre, and what do you discover there about artistic expression that perhaps music alone does not say?

Raluca Moldoveanu: Theatre courses and, implicitly, acting are part of what I want to become: a complete artist, who wants to move forward on different stages. It is not just an aspect related to ego, but it is the environment in which I feel good with myself, authentic in the truest sense. I feel free, creative, smart, beautiful, alive or, as I would say, livable. As I said, for me art is not just music, but it’s manifestation through these means. Art, fundamentally, is a manifestation, I choose how to express it, and theatre gives me the opportunity to develop personalities that train the psyche, that stimulate it. The release I feeing through anger, joy, humor, all these things develop me as an individual.

WIN Gallery: Many artists speak about the moments when their career enters a stage of maturation. Do you feel that the period you are going through now has this character of consolidation and redefinition?

Raluca Moldoveanu: I am definitely entering a stage of maturation. Every period of life is associated, for me, with a type of music that I choose to sing, depending on my personal experiences. Each stage is triggered by certain internal and external factors, which offer me new perspectives on society, emotion, empathy, strength, independence, love, self-confidence, anger, restlessness, and many others. What I will sing and how I will sing in a few years may be completely different from what I sing at this moment. I use music to tell myself something, to understand something, and both the songs and my voice give me satisfaction. Through music I have learned a lot. As I said, it guides me to introspection when I listen to it, but it is even more powerful when I approach it by singing. It is a refuge, self-knowledge, personal reinvention.

WIN Gallery: Your agenda includes numerous concerts announced for the upcoming period. What motivates you the most when you prepare for a meeting with the public?

Raluca Moldoveanu: What motivates me in every concert-type event or TV appearance is a simple reason: I am a person who wants to feel that she is alive. To see the public watching you is like a healthy validation that you know what you are doing. This gives me confidence and pleasure to sing to them. I like to see people having fun and feeling good when I perform a musical moment.

WIN Gallery: The collaboration with WIN Gallery brought music into a space devoted to visual art and cultural dialogue. How did you perceive this meeting between two forms of artistic expression that are different, yet close through sensitivity?

Raluca Moldoveanu: For me, the collaboration with WIN Gallery represents a project based on the fusion of the arts in a very expressive way. Human beings need to delight both their sight and their hearing with these two powerful art forms. It is wonderful to observe and analyze works, works of art, and when you also have a simultaneous musical audition, an absolute feeling develops, one that distracts you from all selfish thoughts. It is a supreme connection with your higher self, where human truthfulness is rekindled. Everything gains color, it is no longer bland, superficial, deprived of essence or substance. People who have an artist’s soul resonate to the fullest with what I am saying. Art “intoxicates” you in the most beautiful way, perhaps even to the point of dissociation from dull reality.

WIN Gallery: Art galleries have a distinct rhythm, different from that of a performance stage. Did you feel that the atmosphere of such a space influences the way you relate to the artistic moment?

Raluca Moldoveanu: Art galleries maintain a calmer rhythm, behaviorally speaking, even if mentally I am trained at that moment. They temper me, I need concentration, analysis, and introspection, which I cannot do at a concert, where the energy is immediately released. This space in galleries becomes an intimate, cultured, sophisticated setting through the way thinking is set in motion.

WIN Gallery: Your path today seems to be expanding toward several forms of expression, from music to theatre and television. How do you manage to maintain a coherent line between these directions?

Raluca Moldoveanu: Managing my activities, completely different from one another, is difficult. I need discipline, time, and patience. Everything has to be taken one at a time. I still have not managed to master, to juggle the organization of these. It is very difficult, because each one comes with special requirements, different hours and schedules at which I have to wake up, be there, or the time allocated for my preparation for each of these.

WIN Gallery: For those who have followed your activity for a long time, there is the impression of a constant evolution, but also of an artistic curiosity that pushes you toward new experiences. What role does this openness play in the development of your career?

Raluca Moldoveanu: The role of artistic curiosity toward new experiences, as far as the development of my career is concerned, is that of living new sensations, like a mental game that I want to play with myself, of surpassing my personal record and stirring my spontaneity.

WIN Gallery: Looking toward the projects and concerts that are coming up, what would you like the public to discover in this stage of your artistic journey

Raluca Moldoveanu: Through my future projects and concerts, I want the audience to see how far I can refine my craft—an example of how art helps people grow, empower themselves, and educate themselves. I would like to share things of quality — or at least intriguing things — through what I do and who I am as a person, because I, too, want to see artists step into the spotlight and showcase something truly exceptional, without feeling overwhelmed by what’s happening in the world of “celebrities.”
