Acrylic Paint, 9x12x.75, 2026, $700

I create intuitive acrylic paintings as a way to connect the subconscious dreamscape into the present moment. I am inspired by the stillness, self exploration and connection art has to offer in this world. Every moment I am outside I see the beauty in nature, and as I dive inward I make sense of conscious and subconscious concepts through the visual arts. I enjoy finding ways to intertwine abstraction with realism and all the places in-between, lately this is shown through the relationship of the fluid acrylic paint and paintbrush work.

I was born in Romania, and moved to America in early childhood. I come from a highly spiritual and hard working background. Growing up in a strong traditional household while navigating the diverse cultural landscape of America has inspired me to see what is beyond the physical. I always resonated with painting as a medium to transcribe an emotion, mental state, view point, etc. into a visual insight. While mostly self-taught, I leaned into the mentors around me, allowing the experience of creating to guide my education.
