Self-taught artist born in Communist Romania, my work reflects my multicultural identity, a life marked by departures and the absences that follow. Along the itinerant path of my life, contact with India, my cultural and spiritual experience with this country, deeply transformed the act of painting, which shifted from a simple hobby to an urgent need for expression.
In a desire to abolish separating distances, the notions of "stitching" and "entanglement" became evident to me, as well as the idea of a "universal interdependence." The ancestral act of weaving and the symbolism of fiber – through its omnipresence in the structure of life – are embedded in my approach as elements of collective cultural memory. In a reflection on poetic language, the thread and the fiber are both texture and text.
My work revolves around a complex blend of media through which I explore the architectures of space, time, and memory, whose boundaries constantly blur and shift. This is expressed through textile installations, leather weaving from recycled materials, and paintings often approached in a "support - surface" manner.
Artistic Education
After attending unsatisfactory painting classes in Romania in the 90s, I have always enjoyed self-teaching, through direct experimentation, but also by participating in many art workshops. Whether in India, Italy, France, or the United Arab Emirates, I sought to learn and expand my mode of expression through various procedures and media: mosaic, ceramics, mehendi, embroidery, and illumination.
My curiosity, my own readings, and courses as a free auditor at the University of Sorbonne in Abu Dhabi helped me understand and learn more about art history and philosophy.

EXHIBITIONS
My journey through individual and collective exhibitions commenced in 2013 in Chennai, India. It has since taken me to various locations, including Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and has continued to this day in France, with open doors in Colombes and Le Kremlin-Bicêtre.
