My artistic practice revolves around how time leaves traces\u2014in nature, in memories, in objects. I often work from fragments: personal photographs, landscape details, sculptures or lingering memory images. I primarily work with painting, where I explore the relationship between nature and human presence. Through a recurring work with reflections, inner landscapes and layers of history I seek to show how memory, time and perception shape our understanding of space and image.<\/p>\n

I am an artist based in Stockholm, with roots in Bucharest. Since 2007 I hold a Master\u2019s degree in Painting from the National University of Arts (UNARTE) in Bucharest. I have been represented by 418 Gallery (Cetate\/Munich) since 2011 and we have collaborated for several exhibitions. In 2023 I was a finalist of the Arte Laguna Prize which presented a selection of international artists at the exhibition in Arsenale, Venice. Among my recent projects is a series of works focusing on the dialogue between landscape and the human figure, which was part of the solo exhibition Konversationer (2024) at the Romanian Cultural Institute in Stockholm. That same year I represented Romania at the Durr\u00ebs International Biennale of Contemporary Art in Albania, under the theme AI: The Hybrid Future. I presented the installation Mirrors in the pavilion, exploring our relationship to image and technology through fragments of sculpture, nature, and text.<\/p>\n

My work is part of the Museum of Contemporary Art collection within the Brukenthal National Museum in Sibiu, Romania. In 2025 I started a new series during the residency at Villa San Michele, where I explored how time affects our perception of art and history. The works become a space for reflection and new insights, with layers of power in contrast with vulnerability and longing. In this project I aim to further investigate how a place can carry emotional depth and how this can be translated into image.<\/p>\n<\/div>
