I would be very happy if my paintings offered to the viewer a glimpse of the beauty and emotion that inspired me to make them.

Nature, and plant life in particular, has always fascinated me. Flowers, trees, gardens impress me so deeply that I feel compelled to express emotions on canvas. They give that primal sense of joy that fills one's entire being, like a sunset or a child's smile.
I started out by painting close-ups of flowers: a single plant or a small group, which looked so beautiful suspended in time and space, that they made the background all but disappear. Afterwards, I became interested in the symbiosis between plant life and the myriad small creatures that dwell within, such as birds and insects. But lately I found myself more drawn to the subtle dynamism of this world: either the pulsating crown of a tree in bloom, or the living energy spreading across a garden or hedge.

Land and seascapes reveal the inherent beauty of individual places, and they put me into a state of tranquil contemplation and immersion into the natural and the universal.

While quarantined home, on the outskirts of Bucharest, I found inspiration in my previous plane travels and the gravity cancelling feeling which flying gives. Going through anxiety, fear and dear ones loss to calmness and serenity, I developed the skyscapes series (Over the Clouds, 2020-2022) as a way for processing the full range of emotions experienced during the pandemic.

Biography
I was born and raised in Craiova, a town in southwest Romania. I have lived in Bucharest since 1980.
I left the corporate world in 2013 to devote myself to painting. After learning the basics on my own and taking private classes, I enrolled at the School of Art in Bucharest, which I graduated in 2017. I graduated from the University of Fine Arts in Bucharest in 2019, majoring in Painting.
I had two solo “brick & mortar” exhibitions in Romania (2023, “Dor de inaltimi”, at Galeria Occidentului and 2019, “Roaming the World”, at The National Library of Romania in Bucharest) and a few group participations in Romania and worldwide (online).
My artworks can be found in private collections in Romania and abroad (USA, Canada, Italy, France). I am an awarded and published artist.
