About The Artist
Artist Statement
My art explores the delicate balance between control and release, structure and freedom, rigidity and fluidity. Using a combination of fineliner drawing, digital editing, resin pouring, and collage techniques, alongside digital extensions via the Artivive app, I create pieces that challenge conventions and engage viewers on multiple sensory levels.
A central theme in my work is control—not as a means of dominating outcomes, but as the mastery of my own responses to the external world. This is beautifully balanced by the theme of acceptance and release, not as opposing forces to control, but as its natural complements. Together, these concepts intertwine, creating a journey where acceptance deepens the essence of control, fostering a more harmonious and meaningful outcome.
This philosophy comes to life through a harmonious blend of rigid geometric forms and the organic elegance of flowers, butterflies, and birds. It also manifests in the fluid, unpredictable nature of resin pouring—a process I can influence while mixing, yet must ultimately relinquish control over as it cures. These seemingly opposing elements unite to challenge expectations, proving that rebellion can embrace inclusion. Who says digital enhancements can’t merge effortlessly with physical creations? Or that intricate floral motifs can't coexist with precise patterns, flowing in perfect harmony with pigmented or transparent resin?
Art has always been more than a creative outlet for me. Over ten years ago, I moved from Romania to Germany to pursue a career in civil engineering. This major life change brought challenges, leaving me searching for a sense of stability and purpose. Art became that source of balance. Initially, it was a personal pursuit of joy and fulfillment, but it soon developed into a way to communicate—expressing a range of human emotions and encouraging others to see life from different perspectives. Through art, I’ve found a way to demonstrate that it is possible to follow our responsibilities without giving up on the passions that truly matter to us.
My art aims to encourage viewers to not only observe but also reflect on the boundaries in their own lives. By blending elements of realism and abstraction, tradition and technology, and control and spontaneity, the work invites a deeper connection. The goal is to spark meaningful reflection and create a lasting impact through this unique approach.
