born 1987, Bucharest, Romania

I am interested in the interplay between my personal life with the public one, within the dynamic interaction between painting, sculpture, photography, video, animation and performance; in the diversity of explorations whose convergence is drawn progressively, as an organism in continuous evolution. In the creative I approach abstraction, disguised narrations, the dissolution of time, consumerism, nomadism, the exile in nature and the aesthetics of co-presence – which I transpose into reality in the form of behavioral fixtures and ritualistic acts.
