On a violet-and-white chessboard, a decisive power play unfolds. Feminine objects take the place of traditional chess pieces, surrounding the lone king in a symbolic checkmate.

Established in Brașov after graduating from the Faculty of Chemistry in Bucharest, I rediscovered the interest in art that I held in childhood. At some point, without any explanation, I decided to paint almost daily. In hindsight though, the goal was clear: the passion for painting needed to be saved! The first project I won in 2022 gave me the necessary confidence to advance to a professional level in art and painting.
I identify with a versatile style, inspired by various historical themes but fundamentally contemporary. The essence of my art lies in mastering the basic rules and—paradoxically—breaking them as an expression of an unrestrained or undirected emotion. I have never painted without zest for life; I have never painted anything in a mechanical fashion. I do not paint to escape feelings or forget thoughts; I paint to understand them, to give them power. I paint to educate myself professionally and emotionally.
Some of my artworks made it to Sweden, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and even the US—now being part of people’s homes and businesses.
