King Raccoon Painting

I am a New York-based artist with a passion for storytelling through my art. Born in Bucharest, Romania, and raised in Queens, NY, I was inspired from a young age by the street art and graffiti of the city. My love for art led me to pursue my education, and I earned my BFA in illustration from the School of Visual Arts in New York. My BFA education has not only honed my technical skills, but also given me a deep understanding of the power of visual storytelling. My work is inspired by my cultural background, the energy of the city, and my own personal experiences. I work primarily with acrylic paint and mixed media, and my favorite techniques include dry brush and layering to create texture and depth in my pieces. I often explore themes of solitude and self-discovery in my work, using color and texture to create an emotional connection with the viewer. I have had the privilege of exhibiting my work in several shows, and my art has been recognized and appreciated by audiences and industry professionals alike. My goal as an artist is to continue to grow, learn, and use my work to inspire and connect with others.
