EN: I was taught painting, drawing and photography at a very young age, and I owe so much to my teachers, talented Romanian painters, sculptors, photographers whose creativity have left a powerful imprint on contemporary Romanian art. I recall Ilie Marineanu revealing to me the art of seeing: "When you draw an object, observe its proportions, but remember to also take in the space that surrounds it and the lines that highlight it. Follow that relationship and a whole different world will appear in front of you." I keep practicing that way of seeing in and outside the field of art. I strive to grasp the soul of things within the gaps and hollow spaces, everywhere absence shows itself and resonates. This paradoxical approach evolved into an intimate relationship with painting, with the physicality of painting, and eventually into a method I call "the im-mediate imaginary" - imaginary without intermediary. The objects, beings and places that inhabit my paintings take on a special kind of real-ness as they connect to a soon-to-be-manifested world, a world that does not seek confirmation from reality but simply appears and asserts itself within reality. My work is "im-mediate imaginary" art. While I reside within the confines of the real world, my paintings are openings into a different world, crossing over and flowing into the thin fabric delicately stretched onto the frame of reality. FRENCH: On m’a appris à peindre très jeune et je remercie mes professeurs, artistes peintres, sculpteurs et photographes roumains de grand talent dont les œuvres demeurent des trésors de créativité. Je me rappelle Ilie Marineanu me disant: «Quand tu dessines un objet, regarde non seulement l’objet mais aussi l’espace qui l’accueille et la frontière qui le met en valeur. Tu en apprendras ainsi beaucoup sur lui, tu verras le monde autrement.» J’ai beaucoup pratiqué cette façon de regarder, m’entraînant à saisir l'âme des choses dans les interstices, les creux, le manque. J’appelle «l’imaginaire im-médiat» mon approche et ma vision intime de la peinture: un imaginaire sans médiation, sans intermédiaire. Les objets, les lieux, les êtres qui habitent mes peintures ont une réalité bien particulière, un lien direct avec un monde à venir qui se présente tel quel, qui ne cherche pas sa confirmation dans le réel mais manifeste sa présence et s’affirme ainsi dans le réel. Ma peinture est donc une peinture «imaginaire im-médiate».
