Ilka Giliga

Born and raised in a small city in Transylvania Romania. On one, seemingly indifferent morning at the age of 17, I woke up with the vision that I have to start drawing. And suddenly, this medium re-organized my life. Driven by a constant need of more inspiration and knowledge, I set and costume design at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts and fashion design and tailoring at Oslo National Academy of the Arts. I started working in the field of theater design quite early, creating a lively social network, finding my voice, my style with every new project. As a freelancer, I find inspiration, energy and fulfillment in the ever-renewing cylce of the rituality of theater-making, trying to find or create systems in the ever-changing dynamics of it.

Freedom of the mind.

With plants around.
