Ever since I was young, I have adored painting. I have explored various mediums, but from the moment when I discovered acrylic resin, it became my preferred medium.

For me, painting is a passion and an adventure and I transmit all my emotions and my love of life in my paintings. Most of the time I use strong colors.

I have sporadically followed courses in composition, color, shade and light.

My sources of inspiration? Generally nature, travel memories, music … life!

I made studies and I work in data processing. In the short free moments, I do what I adore: the painting.

Born in Bucharest (RO) in April 1968, and living on the South shore Montreal (CA) since 1990.
