"As long as I can remember I’ve loved art. I grew up in communist Bucharest, Romania, in a household full of books and art, and after the 1989 revolution my parents enrolled me into a local art school aged 8, where I studied one day a week just drawing or painting, until transitioning to high school when it turned into two days a week of a whole range of art studies...eventually graduating with a Baccalaureat Degree in Sculpture. I was then and still am now so influenced by Romanian artists like Corneliu Baba, Stefan Luchian or Alexandru Ciucurencu.

Over the last two decades I’ve worked as an artist, graphic designer, video editor and more, trying my hands at anything creative. I am now interested in all aspects of art, though my first love is portraiture and unravelling peoples stories and personalities while using symbolism to create unique individual pockets of someone's world.

"My style morphs and changes with the subjects I choose, whether is figurative or depicting ideas and feelings. I don’t believe in having one style to define you as an artist and I very much welcome the surprise part of this journey, whilst being allowed to grow in all directions, like a stubborn weed. I am therefore a gallery's worst nightmare."
