My name is DoinaIovănelSpineanu and I am from Romania. I am a writer, editor, painter, journalist and literary editor. I am a member of the Romanian Writers' Union, a member of the Association of Romanian Journalists Worldwide (AJPR), based in Quebec, Canada, a journalist at RadioTV - "Unirea" (the RadioTV station of Romanians in Austria), editor of the magazine "Unirea", from Vienna, a member of the Association of Visual Artists "RomulLadea", from Timișoara and the Association of Visual Artists from Cluj. I graduated from the Faculty of Philology, at the West University, in Timișoara, and I was a Romanian language teacher. So far,I have published 58 books(from almost all literary genres), for adults andchildren alike. These books comprise all literary genres- lyrical, epic (novels for adults and teenagers, stories, essays), drama (theater plays for children and teenagers), memorialistic (monograph).
For all of these books, I personally made the covers, drawings and graphics. I also personally published most of my books.For my debut book – “Variations on the Theme of Lamentation” – poems, published in 1999, at the “Eminescu” Publishing House in Bucharest, I received an impressive letter of congratulations and blessing from His Holiness, Pope John Paul II; for my book “Sentimental Monograph”, I received an honorable letter of congratulations and thanks from His Majesty, King Michael I of Romania. As a writer, I was invited to launch one of my poetry books – “Flower Fantasy”, at “Casa Europei” in Paris and at the Clamart City Hall, as part of the Franco-Romanian Intercultural Festival, to which I took part as aHonorary Ambassador (in the spring of 2019). Later on, in France still, in Nice, I launched another book of poetry – “Window to Autumn”, during the painting exhibition at the Tchaikowski Gallery, in September 2023. As a children's writer, I was invited, with the occasion of “International Children's Day”, from June 1st, to present my children's books, in Austria, at the Romanian Cultural Institute in Vienna, and in Serbia, la Majdanpekduring beautiful and extensive cultural events which took place in the midst of numerous Romanians residing there.
In Romania, we had numerous book launches and meetings with readers.These events, as well as the countless meetings with readers from Romania, have brought me great spiritual satisfaction. Among the many diplomas I have received for my cultural-artistic activity, one of them in particular, hashonored and motivated me in a very special way. This was the "Anniversary Diploma, for the promotion of Romanian cultural and spiritual values, in the world", awarded by RadioTv "Unirea", from Vienna, in the imposing Imperial Hall, in the Old City Hall, in Vienna, during the festive events, organized on the occasion of December 1st (Romania’s National Day). Then, another important diploma for me, one that holds great sentimental value, is the "Diploma of Gratitude, received as a sign of great appreciation, for the contribution made, for the involvement in the actions and projects of the Club and for the promotion of Rotary ideals", awarded by the Rotary Alba Iulia Civitas SolisClub. As a painter, I’ve had numerous exhibitions and have taken part in symposiums and art camps, within the country and abroad, receiving diplomas and certificates of international artistic acknowledgement. As a promoter of the Romanianculture,but of international culture as well, I was appointed Director for Romania, of the International Festival of Lusophone Culture"6Continents", in 2015 and 2016, (appointment made by Mr. Philippe Larsen, a cultural personality from Portugal).
Then, I was named Honorary Ambassador of the Franco-Romanian Culture Festival, "Loves, Exiles and Eternity", held in France (Paris and Clamart) between April 7th and April 15th, 2019, within the broader framework of the Franco-Romanian Cultural Season. This year, I had the great honor of being appointed Ambassador for Romania of an important International Organization of Writers –„ Capital Writers International Foundation”, by the President of this organization, Mr. Preeth Padmanabhan Nambiar.
