RAYS OF HOPE Print

In high school I attended the courses of well known Romanian colorist painter Mihai Bandac, who cultivated my love for colour. I graduated from the Ion Mincu Institute of Architecture in Bucharest as Master of Architecture and member of the Order of Architects in Romania. I've made numerous trips to Italy, where I designed and built private residences and holiday homes. I have also irresistibly indulged in the gentle sun of Tuscany and its mysterious light that transfigures landscapes, architectural objects and people. In recent years I returned to my first love, painting in oil or acrylic and practicing what I call "architectural painting". My works are abstract configurations, rigorously constructed from the architects' obsessive "golden section". Seeing Universe as a pre-existing and immutable structure, being in a state of harmonious celestial equilibrium, I'm methodically searching for essential and beautiful archetypal watermarks, proposing original cosmological models or creating imaginary geographies. Using richly textured colours, I try to find the infallible superstructures that tend to reflect the subtle semiotic of the universe. My works have already found place in many private collections in the US and the UK.
