About me in general...

I was born in Cluj in ‘69, my father, Augustin, was a well-known and appreciated architect, unfortunately he died at a young age, 45. At age of 8, I remained with my mother, Margareta, and Patricia, my sister, both of them ballet-dancers. I began to love painting, nature, walks in countryside, fresh-air and the inner beauty of things became very attractive to me…having nothing else in my head than colors, vivid colors - yellow, blue, green… During my art studies, in ‘89 there was a big change and chance which we called “The Romanian revolution”, but for most of us it was a big lie, my hopes never came true. I could say now that I was too idealistic. Anyway, this change was very important for my art career, as I met the German artist J. Georg Dokoupil in Amsterdam, who opened my eyes to a new view of the contemporary art and trends. I started to paint in a new manner, more accurate I could say, as well as fresh.

if you could collaborate with/meet any artist, past or present, who would it be?

C. Pissarro, G. Richter, G. Dokoupil
