Biography
What drives me to create art is the need to explore and expand the boundaries of human expression. For me, painting and intermedia works are ways of translating emotions, thoughts, and experiences into forms that connect people beyond words. I am a professional artist with over 25 years of experience, numerous national and international exhibitions, and a graduate of the National University of Arts in Bucharest, Painting Department.
I want to sell on Artfinder because it is a platform that values independent artists and makes their work accessible to a global audience of collectors who appreciate originality and authenticity.
