About me

I am a Romanian painter based in Bucharest. My relationship with painting began in childhood and was deepened through formal training at the National University of Arts Bucharest. For me, painting has never been purely aesthetic - it has always been a way of thinking through what cannot otherwise be said.

The Light

My work sits within the current of New Romantic Visionary Landscape, in which landscape has always been a vehicle for inner experience rather than a description of the external world.

The Light Collection emerged from a period of personal loss, its disorientation, its weight, its strange capacity to eventually lift. I found that landscape could hold what language could not. The result is a series of paintings depicting dark, enclosed valleys of deep water and heavy mountains, and a single source of light that arrives and transforms everything. The darkness is not atmospheric decoration. It is a psychological condition.

Because the light refuses definition, each viewer brings their own meaning to it. For some it is sacred. For others it is psychological, cosmic, or simply the persistence of hope. It might be a person, a moment, a belief, or something felt but never named. The paintings do not define it. That is deliberate. It is what makes the work personal to everyone who stands in front of it.

Little Pleasures

Little Pleasures comes from the opposite place. Where the Light Collection sits with darkness and what comes after it, these paintings stay with the small things - a well-made cake, a quiet indulgence, a moment of sweetness that makes an ordinary day a little better.

Painted in a small format with the same attention given to the larger work, these are paintings about presence rather than meaning - about noticing the things that quietly make a dull day feel sweeter.
