About Me
Art is born from the memorable moments of life, so let’s not lose them in everyday life!
Born in Romania, in a mountain village at the foot of Transfăgărășan, I grew up in harmony with nature and its mysteries.
As a child, I strongly believed that we are all born with artistic values, but only some of us fructify them and expose them to others as a form of dialogue. I like to have a dialogue both directly and indirectly with the viewer of my work. I am a great lover of art in all its forms, expressing myself through various artistic forms: from naive painting, through graphic art, photography or literature, to traditional painting, or more modern styles such as collage, video projections, performances, and various other techniques.
Depending on the emotional and spiritual state, I carefully choose the elements of artistic expression, precisely in order to have a sincere dialogue and a message on the meaning of each viewer.
Creativity is health and evolution. Through art I remain alive, immortal and useful. Through the artistic message we can change and we can change us.
When I create, I express myself consciously, sincerely and emotionally, without planning a certain compositional ending in advance. That is why every finished work is a surprise and a satisfaction that makes me continue in this wonderful infinity offered by God… ART!
