I found some old drawings and collected some of them in a book here. They showcase my love of portraiture and line drawing, all made during my teens, in school in Bucharest. Nania is my sister and was my most popular model as we shared a bedroom growing up in our grandparents’ matchbox size flat in Bucharest. The rest of my models are teachers, friends, characters from books and real life.
