Everybody is asking me who is my target market. I do not intend to create for a specific target market – the art pieces chooses the right persons... this is what I believe. Beautiful people still exists and they show up when I am expecting less. The fact they can find in my arts something unique, peaceful, nice, warm, aggressive, deceptive, honest, and dirty or anything else is flattering me.

Sculpture is by far my biggest passion ... this is where incised graphic signs, polished or coloured volumes, combination of different metals is leading your thought to the impulses of memory and unconsciousness. Of course the great technique is required, but I like the boldness and adventure ... I know how far I should go and I do not stop before achieving a new piece of art. With deep roots in my childhood, the ideas I am expressing are of general value and they are speaking to all people. My sculpture is not complicated and I think the continuous movements from the atom to the idea, from spirituality to matter, configures a specific tri-dimensional universe and I believe they are presenting the human in the way he is.
The immense treasure of goodness that exists in all humans has to be brought out and I believe this is more important than the perfection of form. So, I’ll remain a dreamer...

Contemporary Jewelry is a continuation of sculpture (but that does not mean it is less important to me), in which I put few thoughts about ideas, solutions or harmony of things. Of course that fine manufactures plays an important role ... but it not only about that. It requires a mix of philosophy, art, sadness, humour, happiness and pieces of soul ...and besides this an amalgam of images, sensations, stories, feelings etc. And then, slowly, a jewelry is born....

As I've said many times, I believe you can do nothing without drawing... its mandatory for all plastic approaches, decorative or as final expression of ideas, feelings or events. Let think that through the two-dimensional (paper format) the line is transformed into three-dimensional which means: volumes, universes with zooming, lights, shadows and reflections.
So, when you get to that point where through a simple drawn line you suggest an emotion... it means you have gone far.

It is true that sometime the graphic and dramatic style of my paintings can scare you. However the colour manages to counterbalance this feeling, helped by strength, rough sometime, of drawing or 'collage' of metals, objects, bottles, etc.
The figures are amazed, fearful, loving, speechless, blind, rebellious, passionate, sulk, torn and always surrounded by an empty space, emptiness dominated by doubts and anxieties. The characters are always situates in eternal difficulties and always deep down are analysed the profound expressions of the soul in unusual positions, having forced gestures and twisted expressions, where love and death are intertwined.

First I was drawing on the pillow cases, then on the door frames and walls. When I was in the primary school I was stealing the chalk and being inspired by my father philatelic collection I was making the first sculptures, portraits of some celebrities.
Next, the art teacher, Mrs. Chivu discovers me, and takes me to the Children Club, how it was called back then. She has the initiative to talk to my parents and convince them to send me to an Arts School. During this time I discover my mother's uncle, Constantin Popescu (amateur painter) who fascinates me with drawing lessons (statics nature and portraits) and with the Russian painting’s albums (that's all you could find in the small town of Ramnicu Sarat).
I'll be in 8th grade (14 years old) when I will go to the School of Arts in Iasi - Octav Bancila. I am learning from the graphic’s teacher Huhurez Zamfir (who dies after few years). Next year I am accepted in the Arts’ high school – the painting class, and I have the meeting of my life with the sculpture teacher Petru Ignat. At the end of 9th grade my life is radically changing, I discover new things, totally unknown to me until then. Everything changes and has a different meaning - books, work, art studio - I start to wish my own art studio although my teacher’s studio was like my own. In the 10th grade of the high school, thanks to professor Ignat, my colleagues and I, will organise and participate to the first sculpture exhibition. Meanwhile, during holidays I start building with my hands my own studio in Ramnicu Sarat. It’s still exists today on top of my parents’ house, with everything in: bed, work desk, tools’ desk, and terrace. I learn how to work for money, the teacher Ignat is introducing me to the art collectors from Iasi and I create pieces of arts in marble, granite or wood.
Years passes and I am admitted to the Arts University George Enescu in Iasi, where I study with the teachers Simion Cristea and Dan Covataru. I continue to work in Ignat’s studio and a special relationship is connecting us. My work art is different, I am at a different level. I start to understand the importance of drawing in everything I do and I am learning a lot of techniques, vital to my activity. The teacher Ignat become sick and is coming less and less in the studio. I bring him in, time to time, but usually we go out for a coffee and discuss all kind of things and makes a lot of plans. Before he dies, he is giving me the studio with everything in it. I am getting married and somehow I split myself between the studio and family but unfortunately I am neglecting the Teacher. I am neglecting him, and despite the fact I know it, I am doing nothing to change the situation and visit him. My Teacher dies and shame on me I am not aware of the exact date. When I find out about his death I have a sense of guilty.
It will follow a very stressful time because of the high maintenance cost of an art studio. The debts inherited from the Teacher are overwhelming. However there is bright side, I start to draw again a lot.
Sculpture is not neglected and as a continuation of the sculpture I am creating jewelleries. I start again to paint (in the years after graduation I painted a lot and I sold everything in the U.S., Brazil, Canada, Japan and Europe).
I am going back to my old habits, participating in exhibitions, as I did before. I play with the performance and installation, I participate to documentation stages in the country and abroad.
Related to sculpture I receive orders for various public monuments to make them out of bronze (Lupa Capitolina, Paul Zaganescu).
For daily life I am creating objects out of glass and ceramic. After failing to teach art in the Octav Bancila High School, I start to teach art in a private school and kindergarten called Workshop no. 1 with great satisfactions this time. I spend a lot of time in the studio where I draw, paint or do other things. I participate in exhibitions in Romania and Europe.
