Jeleascova Inna

About

Inna Jeleascova, known by her artistic pseudonym iZZY iZVNE, is a remarkable street artist from the Republic of Moldova, who began creating graffiti in 2012, driven by her passion for hip-hop culture. Since then, she has created hundreds of murals, over 400 in Chisinau alone, developing a personal style with 3D forms based on calligraphy, reflecting the inner world and urban space. Among her notable achievements are her inclusion in the book "100 European Graffiti Artists" 2014 edition, following participations in international festivals in France, Sweden, Germany, Portugal, Cyprus, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates, contributing to the promotion of Moldovan art globally. As the director of the "Urban Spirit Family" organization, Inna Jeleascova organizes free graffiti workshops for children from villages and towns, involving over 600 young people from nearly 40 localities in the Republic of Moldova. Through these initiatives, she transforms gray or abandoned spaces into vibrant areas of artistic expression, teaching participants to "leave a mark" and convey social messages. Her projects include Transnistrian collaborations, such as the mural dedicated to stopping violence against women, created with the support of colleagues from both banks of the Dniester River, promoting unity and change through urban art. A graduate in economics, Inna chose the path of art, giving up a conventional career to pursue her quickly discovered passion – her unique style took shape in just two weeks. The pseudonym iZZY iZVNE comes from a cartoon character and the Russian word "izvne," meaning "not of this world," reflecting her creative vision. Her main goal is to modernize Chisinau through colorful street art, making the city a vibrant and accessible capital for everyone.
