Art has surrounded me for as long as I can remember.
Bronze sculptures, drawings, expressive etchings, and ceramics filled every corner of our home—quiet companions in my daily life.
Born into a family of artists in communist Romania, I grew up in a space where creativity offered sanctuary. In a world defined by silence and control, our home became a refuge for imagination and spirit.
There, I learned never to abandon my dreams—but to pursue them with dedication and resilience.
Through sculpture, painting, and photography, I explore a world of symbols, metaphors, and emotions. My work reflects what I see and feel: layered, imaginative, deeply human.
I draw inspiration from many sources—nature, history, literature, science—but most of all from people: our emotions, our quiet strength, and the ways we navigate darkness toward light.
My background in architecture guides the way I compose: I value clarity, balance, and the poetry of simplicity. Intuition, freedom, and a subtle sense of humor bring my forms and colors to life.
