About me :
Born in Romania in 1969, I am a self-taught visual artist now based in Germany, after fourteen years in France. Originally trained as a medical doctor and later working in international HR and management, I shifted to full-time artistic creation in 2020. This journey shapes a practice rooted in clarity, balance, and meaning.
My work lies between abstraction and semi-abstraction, balancing precise forms with intentional imperfections that reveal the creative process. I experiment with acrylic, gouache, watercolor, inks, and monotype, often cutting and assembling paper to build my signature collages.
Focusing on memory, identity, and life transitions, I draw inspiration from 20th-century masters; I am an unconditional admirer of Matisse, Jawlensky, and Poliakoff. At times, playful, ironic texts arise in response to the images, a reminder that art is a perpetual game between emotions and material manipulation.
Recent series include:
Asemic (2024): Mainly monochrome collages and old book papers and ink drawings on old book pages exploring fragility, resilience, and the traces of time.
Fragmented Memories (2024): Colorful, bold compositions evoking almost forgotten memories and imagined scenes.
Mauvaises Herbes (2025, ongoing): Inspired by wild plants as a metaphor for bold, unconventional spirits asserting themselves despite adversity.
I create intimate, quiet compositions that bring reflection, authenticity, and aesthetic pleasure to the viewers, in harmony with the spaces they inhabit.
