Born in June '83 in Timisoara, Romania, a university city full of history, unquestionable architectural beauty, museums, and a cult for art, into an intellectual family. From a very early age, I decided to enter the world of art, following my father's footsteps, and I was supported by my family. At the age of 11 I was admitted at Timisoara’s Art School, where I spent the next eight years. Attending regular exhibition around the country, in 2002 I was part of an exhibition in Germany.

My art is inspired by different themes--my collections are trying to taken natural elements and human form to another level. The rough simple form is brought to life by designs, colors, shapes, and prints which create a new image in a more complex way. All these elements bring to life the idea that there is so much beauty in the world. As an artist I did not try to create a perfect representation of the subjects, but a celebration of the abstract qualities like nobility, beauty, and courage. My creations are a more idealized version of the elements I considered most important. As a composition, arrangements of line, shape, and form evoke integrity and dignity, the simplification and abstraction of the visual elements emphasize their power.
