Voodoo Catbar
“Meowww”, said the spirit in me, as for sure, the one in front of me replied: “Well, hello!”
It was the opening of the conversation that started that magical and occult nightingale. The dark was full of sparkling colours, beautifully blending the objects inside the “Voodoo - Cat Bar”.

Fomista
"Fomista" merges Romanian communist-era iconography with cyberpunk aesthetics. The headscarf and rotary phone reference the surveillance state and conformity of the Soviet bloc, while glowing eyes and acid typography reframe that control through a dystopian, digital lens.

The Cyclist
A woman in a white dress beside a white bicycle, rendered in simple flat shapes against a warm taupe background. No background clutter, no narrative tension — just a quiet moment. The simplicity is the point. It breathes.

Grotto
A cave is a space still unknown. In this unknown you can discover, see the light in the dark and be surprised. Childhood feels sometime like discovering a cave.

Genesis
She's holding something alive — protecting it, offering it. Still, sacred, powerful. Created in dialogue with Samantha Mash's botanical work — the crane, the leaves, the layered flora. Everything else grew from there.

Equilibrium
It might be anxiety that takes control. Or it might be a social construct that limits your way of being. Or it might just be that the show ended before the big finish.

Reverie
Drawn from the stillness of geisha — the porcelain profile, the weight of dark hair, the face that gives nothing away — but the blue pulls her out of history and into something more private. She belongs to no one's tradition but her own.

Cherry flower
Botanical inspiration framed in geometric black-and-white bars — nature interrupting structure, or the other way around. The tension between organic and grid is what makes it breathe.

Self
A figure kneels among tangled roots and overgrowth, the darkness pressing in from all sides — but she is not overwhelmed, she is part of it. Ink at its most textural and alive.

I've been drawing since I was a child — not because someone told me I should, but because it was already there. After school I took private drawing lessons, and everything else built from there: commissions, album covers, posters, and mostly personal work that didn't need a reason to exist.

I work in both traditional and digital media, and I've come to understand them as two different kinds of thinking. Traditional is messier, less controllable — the brush leaves a mark the environment half-decides, and that restriction is where the creativity lives. Digital is cleaner, faster, infinitely adjustable. Each medium pulls a different style out of me, almost without asking. I like that. It means the tool is part of the work.
Drawing is where reality breaks for me. Nothing is fixed, nothing is given — just open space and whatever needs to come out of it. Time disappears. It's less something I do and more something I am.
I also deeply enjoy translating someone else's vision — sitting inside another person's idea and finding the image that was always waiting inside it. If you have something you want to bring to life, I'd love to hear about it.
