How I work
Three things that do not change from one canvas to the next.
- 01
From life
I do not look for inspiration in imagination but in plain reality: things, landscapes and real details, exactly as they are in nature.
- 02
Oil and acrylic
I work happily in both.
- 03
One of each
Every painting is an original, painted by hand, one of a kind. No reproductions and no editions.
About
UI/UX designer and artist
I have a hearing impairment, and I believe it is exactly what gave me an unusual visual sense: I understand the world best through colours and shapes. I paint in oil and acrylic, from reality, in Caracal and in Bucharest.
Works in Caracal and in Bucharest.

Nine canvases from high school
Nine of the canvases carry a handwritten label on the front, with her name and her class: 10th G or 11th G.
Before you buy
Is it really one of one?
Yes. Every work is painted by hand, once; I make no reproductions, editions or prints, and I never paint the same subject a second time. The work leaves signed on the reverse, and the canvases come with a certificate of authenticity — each work’s own page says exactly what it includes.
How does the work reach me?
By courier, anywhere in Romania, in a rigid crate cut to its size — the canvas travels stretched, never rolled — and insured for the value of the work. Collection from the studio is free. Outside Romania I ship on request; we work out the transport together before you confirm.
Can I see the work before I buy it?
Yes. The studio is in Bucharest and can be visited by appointment: write to me and we will fix a day. If you cannot come, I send photographs in natural light and a close detail. And once it reaches you, you have 14 days to change your mind.
Can I commission something like it?
Yes, but not a copy: I never paint the same thing twice. You can commission a subject of your own — a portrait, a house, a place — at the size you need; I send sketches before I touch the canvas, and the price and size are agreed in writing. The steps and the price guide are on the commissions page.
A work painted for you
A portrait, a house, a place that matters. We agree the subject and the size in writing, I send sketches before I touch the canvas, and the deposit is agreed between us.
