Paintings born in the city: series about Timișoara, the Revolution, portraits, and abstraction—rich colors, direct gestures, lived memories.

Today, I no longer ask who I am.
I put my life on canvas.

The energy of the Revolution did not remain in the past; I carry it in every layer of color and carry it forward into what we are building now: living exhibitions, galleries in hospitals, meetings with people where they need light.

My painting has turned towards the community. In camps, in the mountains, or in the city, I open my easel and let the children happily steal my first brush. In art therapy workshops, we learn together to breathe through color. In documentary films, I try to capture traces of this journey—with old friends, new friends, roads, and vacations where cities become open palettes.

I don't sell images of the past; I build the present. Timișoara remains my rhythm: stairs, squares, people, lights. Each work is an invitation to stay close, to see, to feel.
My painting belongs to those who look at it. I remain in the middle of it, alive.

Emoție florală în albastru regal View In this painting, flowers erupt from a cobalt vase as if propelled by an inner flame.

Explozie florală în vas albastru View This painting captures a poetic corner of urban life, where architecture and intimacy blend into a single tableau.

La marginea visului View This work captures the quiet majesty of Venice under the veil of night. The architecture is softened by shadows, its golden façades glowing faintly against a deep blue sky.
