More about me

I welcome you to my creative projects – painting & writing . Both of my passions define my aspirations for better understand life & beauty, the universe & human condition.

• The curatorial activity that started at the Unescu Mihai Eminescu Cultural Center in Bucharest generated painting and photography exhibitions in the period 1997-2001, which continued in Greece at Icomos 2000, Italy-Bologna 2001 and in Great Britain- London 2003-2008 with various exhibitions supported by the Romanian Society, Radio Tv Unirea and Transylvanian Edition.
• Between 2008-2017 I organized artistic residencies at my art studio at Wimbledon Art Studio, having the chance to host Romanian artists from around the world; Adina Romanescu, George Bodocan, Ioan Astalus, Cosmin Cocis, Adela Ursache, Aurelia Chiriac Carabinieru, Armine Vosganian, and Diana Busuioc Anghelson.
• I debuted with caricature works at the Hammersmith Cultural Festival 2008-2009, continuing with group exhibitions of illustrations and poetry 2010-2018.
• Starting with 2019, my passion for painting took off, debuting in London with a personal exhibition entitled “Heritage – The tip of the iceberg” in 2021 and a collective exhibition “Romanian Artists from Great Britain” organized by ICR London in 2022.
• I made the book illustration of the volume “Doar 3 cuvinte/ Just 3 words” by Gyuris Adalbert from Germany, launched in London in December 2022.
• The Sublime creative camp held the group exhibition with the same name in Cluj in June 2023.
