My work is a constant exploration of aesthetic possibilities in a variety of mediums such as painting, drawing, sculpture, installation. I value craft and sustainable culture, as well as reusing found and recycled materials in an aesthetically meaningful way. Art practice allows me to reflect and make sense of my experiences. I am influenced by the places and cultures where I live and which visit (such as Romania, Spain, Tasmania, United Kingdom).
​
My artwork branches into several projects which I develop intermittently. I integrate Nature in my creative process through contemplation and more recently through the tactile. I aim to create beautiful pieces that can transport the viewer to magic natural places. I hope to give a glimpse of what initially inspired me. My work often relies on the feeling of the sublime, which I describe as a combination between seduction and destruction. My work is not only referring to an outer natural element but to the inner human struggle that is connected and influenced by the environment.
​
For me a threshold in a delimited shape which surrounds an empty space. This element is recurrent in my work because it allows me to imagine infinite possibilities. This feeling of aperture motivates me to keep on creating images and objects which can embody in the static not only space but also time.
